There is a space in our home
where we all gather, and in our home, we gather at our table.
We gather at our table
to drink Coffee
to sip tea
to debate and create
and channel Dear Abby.
We gather at our table to quench our thirst.
We gather at our table
to spotlight our highs and lows
and to share our joys and concerns.
We quote books and sing songs
reminisce about the past
and philosophize about current events.
We gather at our table to drink in the moments.
We gather at our table
to let go of the day’s worries
to feast on stories
to cry
to teach
to learn
and to linger
We gather at our table to dine on laughter
We gather at our table
to spill ourselves
to unfold and embrace
the complexities of our personalities
We gather at our table to drink and dine.
We gather at our table to give thanks.
Happy Thanksgiving, friends.
