Ameliorate

Cool, Calm, Collected

Ameliorate

Troubled waters
Recent turmoil
Sleepless nights
So much agita
Roar of bad news
Reduced to a ripple
No tsunami
Crashing on our
Holiday beach
Just the two of us
Home alone
Loving it
Special celebration
Sharing turkey breast
With fixins
Squash and sweet potatoes
Gatherings
Across America
Hopefully serene
Truce for the day
On this occasion
Having less to say
Lots of small talk of
Games played
Scores discussed
Super bowl odds
Winter trades
Stuffing the gut
Full to bursting
Then a snooze
Sanctuary
From storm outside
Wild winds
Reduced to whispers
Apple pie and mother
A time when lions
Lay down with lambs
Pause for
Peace in our Kingdom
Rare day when
Nothing happens
But football
