A Soldier's Thanksgiving

Over there a soldier's thinking
Of a time not long ago,
When his loved ones got together;
'Twas Thanksgiving Day, you know.

Over there a soldier's dreaming
Of a turkey baked just right,
Mashed potatoes, golden gravy,
Chestnut dressing, pure delight!

Over there a soldier's hungry
For whipped cream on pumpkin pie.
Squares of cornbread, crusts so tender,
Homemade biscuits stacked up high.

Over there a soldier's wishing
He could have one buttered roll.
But he feasts on GI rations
While his unit's on patrol.

Over there a soldier's lying
In a ditch, his makeshift bed.
Mud and dirt are his companions;
Been awhile since he's been fed.

Over there a soldier's praying
That his open sores will heal.
He is sure that he'll feel better
Once he has a good hot meal.

Over there a soldier's hearing
Loud explosions, muffled cries.
Shrapnel killed his foxhole buddy
Right before his very eyes.

Over there a soldier's quoting
Scriptures learned at Mother's knee,
Proud that he's a mighty warrior,
Keeping all his loved ones free.

This Thanksgiving as you're eating
That sweet corn that grandpa grew,
Say a prayer for that dear soldier
Who would love to be with you.

Sorry about your loss of Daniel and Gracie. If/when you are ready, I’m sure you can find new friends to cuddle, or even foster.

DC Metroland weather report

~ Today...Cloudy skies this morning
will become partly cloudy this afternoon.
High 53F. Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph.

~ Tonight...Partly cloudy skies. Low 38F. Winds light and variable.

For once glad to be back in the office.
Friday and Saturday were busy and long.
However, this week is a short week (only 2 1/2 day work week)
so got lots to do before Wed.

Besides, I imagine a lot of you are soon to be
preparing for that scrumptious Thanksgiving meal
or off visiting for the holiday.

But please stay right where you are.
Chat up the military or a family member.
No need to fret...you know I'll be back!

The FR Canteen is

Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS
