as we sit around the table this year
smiling with loved ones as we laugh
we say a prayer before the feast
asking good to bless the good eats
but in my heart as i always do
i pray for those who have no way
of having the chance to come home to
a home cooked meal a turkey and some wine
pecan and pumpkin and pies of all kinds
i pray for those whose family look at the seat
where there used to be a love one
who is no longer able to greet
family and friends as they come in the door
not everyone will notice the tears
or the scores of families this year
who feel a sense of loss
a special occasion
for many not happy anymore
for they have lost someone
who went overseas
to fight a bloody warWww@QuestionHome@Com
