The Blind Chef : Thanksgiving Poetry

written by Poet : Jeff Pelsang


Thanksgiving day is finally here,

Miss molly loves to cook I fear,

For my worries are surely right,

Cause Miss Molly cooks without her sight,

Blind from birth she tries her best,

With everyday another test,

She stuffs the turkey with such delight,

It moves and jumps but she wins the fight,

The stuffings stuffed so in the oven it goes,

A little basting and the oven doors closed,

Utensils lined up for her to find,

A neighbor prepared the kitchen just being kind,

So she works and works without much haste,

the time ticks away with none to waste,

With the last dish finished a smile is worn,

The last dish was easy tasty buttered corn,

The door bell rings so she finds her way to the door,

They meet and greet then make their way across the floor,

Smiles and laughter they sit down to eat,

Awaiting the meal all hungry for the feast,

All blind they feel to fix up their plates,

Mashed potatoes and gravy and the room smells so great,

The turkey is placed in the center for all to share,

They carve carefully with ease and care,

One by one they are ready for grace,

With hands held tightly molly wears a smile on her face,

"For this meal we are about to receive,

We thank you god for helping me,

For guiding me in the kitchen to cook this meal,

For providing the food with no more then a feel,

For bringing all my friends together on this day,

and for helping to show all visually impaired the way,"

Oh and yes, " I cant forget my guide dog Max",

Who protects me at night and has my back,

With that said they dug into their plates,

The turkey was different but they ate and they ate,

The tastiest meal they had in a long time,

They finished their meal with a tall glass of wine,

A toast for the holiday, A toast for all friends,

A thanksgiving day blessing to remember without end,

All had left with hugs and kisses,

After cleaning the table and helping with dishes,

Then molly sat down on the couch to relax..........

ahh a successful dinner she thought, Hmm, and where is Max?
