I am writing to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. Whether your family and friends are near or far away, I hope you are able to enjoy pleasant moments together on this special day. I have posted my Thanksgiving poem below. I hope you enjoy it and feel free to share it as you wish.
Thanksgiving
There are so many things to be thankful for
Where might I begin?
Little faces to adore
And finally tucking them in
Little boys and little girls
To perpetuate our race
Simple toys and pretty curls
And a smile on every face
Relatives of all shapes and sizes
Available just when you want them to be
Playing games and winning prizes
Sharing a meal and laughing with glee
Warming up by a roaring fire
Winter’s rosy red cheeks
Finding a book that you desire
And reading it for weeks
Inner peace to share with yourself
And time to be with others
Pretending to be a jolly old elf
And finally having your druthers
Having the freedom to follow your own pursuits
The beauty of falling snow
Exulting with hollers and hoots
Watching your family grow
A few moments in daily prayer
Being kind to a friend
Steak as you like it, not too rare
Having no need to pretend
Watching with your nose to the window pressed
The excitement of receiving something new
Enjoying a peaceful world at rest
And these are just a few.
