Thanksgiving Poem by Clinton Siegle

Happy Thanksgiving to you

Happy Thanksgiving to you

all places that people come from miles around to be near you

places people come from miles around to be near you

people cheerfully gracefully swaying some singing to you.

You need to give thanks

Thanksgiving day for those who are thankful

holiday with which to give thanks

always there is a thought of thanks

near and dear to all

kind and quiet to few

season's greetings to one and all

giving all of us but a few.

Indeed a day for memories of the done few

vivid details of good details,

in fact, fairly a few

greeting us with emotions of the past year memories quite a few.

I was heavily sedated. My list of medicines at the timeof my left foot deciding to turning zombie was 20 plus depending on the time of day. During this time, I lost my recollection of what was real and who was there. Amnesia occurred on the third day. I could not tell the doctor who I was. I slept 23 hours plus and was unreliable in responding to questions about when, where, and who I was.
