In
silence
choking back
poignant sadness
as I sit alone
so far away from home.
I miss the lighthearted mood
brought on by food and my kinfolks.
Nothing says Thanksgiving more clearly
than the warmth of one’s family and home.

Yldara/M. Stanphill

*** Just thinking of those who are far from their loved ones, those that miss their loved ones —May your hearts be filled with joy, hope, love, peace and thanksgiving, all through out the year.
