Unlike so many Thanksgivings before, a meal my family won’t share, emotion is felt so much more.
Unlike so many Thanksgivings before
A meal my family won’t share
Emotion is felt so much more
About what I should be thankful for
The turkey’s still here
No hunger to fear
But family won’t appear
Whose absence makes abundantly clear
How very much they are held dear
No matter where they are
Is what I’m most thankful for.
