WHEN IT'S THANKSGIVING
To be thankful on such a day, as we awake to peace in
Our homes,
A warm fire in the morning, coffee, and possibly the
Paper to read.
A parade is tradition each year in many places, turkey
In the oven,
Today will be most special as family will gather in
Places everywhere.
A table with a feast set to celebrate this occasion that
Began so far back,
Different foods are shared throughout the land,
Favorites prepared.
Ham, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, as well as many
Other treats,
A chance to get reacquainted with family and friends
So long missed.
When it's Thanksgiving there is another side to the day,
Sad I'll say,
Can we pray for the many homeless families, their stories
We do not know.
We can wish them well but they need a helping hand to
Lift them up,
To the soldiers out there away from family, wishing
They were home, safe.
Let's remember and think about them on this day, are
They okay?
