I am also thankful for the British Romantics, for Nathaniel Hawthorne, for J.R.R. Tolkien and the world of Middle Earth. I'm thankful for Jane Austen and her terrific heroines and her sharp wit. I'm thankful for brilliant song-writers, poets and lyricists, and those writers who bring magic to their art.Some keep the Sabbath going to Church --
I keep it, staying at Home --
With a Bobolink for a Chorister --
And an Orchard, for a Dome --Some keep the Sabbath in Surplice --
I just wear my Wings --
And instead of tolling the Bell, for Church,
Our little Sexton -- sings.God preaches, a noted Clergyman --
And the sermon is never long,
So instead of getting to Heaven, at least --
I'm going, all along.
I'm thankful for books that capture my imagination, books that take me to new worlds and new experiences. Books with words that catch my breath, thrill my heart, and make my spirits soar.
And I'm thankful for an easy post tonight. Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to you, too. :)
I wish I could have thought to give thanks. I was too busy feeling stuffed, I guess.
And me! Be thankful for me! *grins*
Thank you for sharing that poem, it's beautiful. Happy Thanksgiving, darlin', I'm looking forward to playing with you in April.
