Thanksgiving Sonnet for my Husband and Family
by Michelle Argyle
November 18, 2003
Two years ago the trees were not so tall.
But now they seem to tow'r above the sky.
Seems you and I were just about to fall
When suddenly we saw each other nigh.
I'm thankful for the friends who brought us close,
For we have grown as leafy trees in spring
With blooms so sweet they smell like Winter's rose -
And branches strong like love's encircl'ing ring.
The tables laid out in the future near
Seem more than you and I can ever take
From kin & friends we love in heart so dear;
We'll wrap love 'round them never to forsake.
We're truly blessed this coming year ahead
For by the hand of God we're hap'ly led.
