These November Days

*Disclaimer:
(This was written back in November
cyberspace tried to steal it from me
but I won! muhahaha
Here is its return.)

Wow.

These last few days seem to have vanished
in a flurry of tofurkey feathers!
I'm looking forward to December
Looking at pretty Christmas lights
And especially
spending the holiday season
With those I love

Thanksgiving was nice
Our third vegetarian one
It was just us
(mi madre, Eileen, animals)
I helped cook the food
And made the dessert myself (woo hoo!)
My favorite part was that
at the beginning of the year
we started writing
things we are thankful for
on slips of paper
and put them in a jar
we read them aloud after our meal
it was beautiful

What I am most thankful for
Is Tyler Anthony Amphlett
He is a person
I had always hoped existed
Somewhere out in the world
And I would have the joy of spending time with
but sometimes I doubted such a person
could be true
until
I started talking with him.

Sitting around the table with my family
And wonderful food
I felt a warmth spread over me
And a smile
Thinking of all these things
And how truly happy
Talking and being with Tyler makes me
and how amazing he is.

I just know
that December
will be magical.
