While we were gone

More to be thankful for. Thank you, Jan Birchler!

While we were gone

A neighbor shoveled our walk,

Took wonderful care

Of cat and kitten and turtle;

In fact

Loved them

As we do,

Maybe better,

Way more than we could ask

Or expect.

When we walked through the door

At 10 PM

They were happy to see us

But not

Neglected happy.

No:

Well-fed

Well-played-with

Un-neglected

Happy.

There is no more

We could ask for,

There is so much

To be thankful for.

Amen.
