Holiday time
So much to do
Pick up the groceries
Buy some new shoes.
Clean up the house
Put out the good china
The leaf’s in the table
Could’a gone to a diner.
The turkey is cooking
I made Grandma’s stuffing
Fresh cranberry sauce
And the pumpkin nut muffins.
The potatoes are ready
Time to start mashing
There’s gravy to make
So much is still happening.
Made deviled eggs
A cheese ball with crackers
Stuffed mushrooms and olives
Served on festive platters.
I’m here all alone
Everyone’s late
My sister stopped off
To pick up a cake.
In from the city
My daughter will be
Here in a moment
I know she’ll help me.
Turkey for twenty
Quite a big crowd
My cousin can’t hear
He’ll be talking so loud.
The tablecloth’s faded
Belonged to my mother
It won’t be the same
If I use another.
Missing my mom
My father and you
So many have passed
I think of them, too.
A prayer at the table
A glass of red wine
So thankful for family
At holiday time.
