The Thanksgiving Chicken
of a Thanksgiving about forty years ago.
My dad coming home from work
to a Thanksgiving chicken dinner with homemade stuffing.
How he got upset when I told him that Thanksgiving chicken was perfect;
just the right size for our little family, and with stuffing
and home made tortillas my mom made!
They fought over dinner about money, the Thanksgiving chicken
and the size of our little efficiency apartment until I cried out
"I LOVE THANKSGIVING CHICKEN!" and burst into tears.
Sitting at the table in my dad's lap,
The warm smell of Thanksgiving chicken, home made tortillas and stuffing
and my mom and dad at the table holding hands and laughing
about the "Thanksgiving Chicken".
For a sweet moment in time, we were happy, laughing together,
and thankful.
