Written with a great sense of humor, too. An unforgettable poem for Cuban immigrants and for those with kind hearts, too!

An amazing vividly painted portrait...I could actually envision all you described. Thanksgiving should be returned to just that...giving thanks for the wealth of having family and memories to share...the feast should be of that of the heart. Interesting write.... I will continue to explore your poems, and invite you into mine. PEACE
