Alphabe-Thursday: Thankfulness Through the Alphabet

Anchovies for my pizza,

Artists for their Art

Bethany, my daughter,

Books that make me smart

Carols at Christmas time,

Cabins far from city lights

Daisy, my silly dog,

Dreams within deepest nights

Epiphanies that startle me,

Earthworms in the dirt

Friends that I’m fond of,

And comfy flannel shirts

Goofy grins from giggling girls,

God’s grace from prayers I’ve said

Heating pads that keep me warm

And the hair upon my head

Incandescent light bulbs,

Imaginative prose I’ve read

Jokes that make me laugh out loud

The jammies I wear to bed

Kansas trips in springtime,

Kisses from my kids

Lemon drops and lollipops,

Love’s lingering, seductive bid

Mr. Sister and Munchie-Boy,

The men I love the most

Noodles and noontime naps,

The North Carolina coast

Otters, opera and ottomans

Olives of all types

That perfect parking spot

And purple plums so ripe

Quirky humor, quality time,

Quiet moments with my quill

Radios, red robins,

And rubies that are real

Soft, snug sweaters, sisters, 

Sunsets at the beach

Thrift shops, trail mix and

Tea within my reach

Umbrellas, ukuleles,

Utensils for my food

Vacuums, my right to vote,

Vacations to change my mood

Waterfalls and written words,

Wandering walks within the wood

X, the cross of Christ’s crucifixion

and the one I carry, for my own good

Yardsticks to measure with,

Yeast for the bread I slice

Zippers to keep my pants in place

And my new found zest for life.

So many things to be grateful for

I’ve saved the best for last

For I am thankful for all of you

Who read these rhymes I draft!

Happy Thanksgiving!
