Thanksgiving Thought

This thanksgiving there are a lot
Who caught in my heart a special spot
Etched in my memory, touched by their love
God sends them my way delightfully somehow
The list is short but there is a new blessing
Who took her time out for all my fussing
Beautiful, smart, amazingly insane
This year, my blessing - Carola is her name

Mamma

The beach beacons, and I go nearer
She calms me down, cools my anger
Make me feel one of many
Yet makes me part of a whole
She shuns my hugeness, and clasps my hand
She lifts my mood with her magic wand
Her waves they purr and that's her lullaby
I wonder why I came in so late to see
The peace I find in mamma's lap
I found it again, this time in this wrap
Of white and blue and a song so soft
With myriad tunes and a message atop
That in the turmoil of the waves, placid I see
So this balance in life should be born in me
