Nov 2021
I try to keep my head buried
In the sand of my work
I try to keep my eyes focused
On the next finish line
I try to keep my hands away
From their idle ways
Because it's becoming crystal clear,
That this Thanksgiving
Is just not the same
The dining room will be empty
The hallways will be empty
I have already given my all
And my thanks have already run dry
