Giving Thanks

 

The things that make me happy
are just the simple things
 
Doodle bugs and coffee mugs
and Daffodils in Spring
 
No need for wealth or private planes
or millions in the bank
 
It's simple things like life and health
for which I give my thanks.

These are indeed the things that matter, DK.
And cake, of course.

This is a wonderful little heartwarming piece DK.
We only have turkey at Christmas in general and don’t tend to celebrate Thanksgiving here. My wife and I are partial to Turkey meatballs once a month in tomato sauce and pasta!
Happy Thanksgiving to you from WOL and all your UK WOL’ers.

Doodle Bugs have a different significance here in the UK as they were the first rockets fired at London by the Germans during the latter stages of the Second World War. What are they in the US? A good poem which shows appreciation for one's good fortune in life.
Thanks
Keith
