It's almost that day
The day my family works
The day we tell stories
Just like you'd expect daily
All day it smells amazing
It smells like food
Turkey, string beans, mac-n-cheese
...You know...like home
And it sounds like family
My sister singing
My nephew screaming
Music blaring...no one fighting
All we see are each other
Each other smiling
Each other enjoying themselves
No one wants to leave
We all join in the feast
No one eats everything
But every plate is full
Everyone can be pleased
Everyone is happy
Everyone gets along
Everyone has fun
Everyone's heart is here
Only on this day
This one day
I can achieve
A day of peace
