Forgotten Thanksgiving

For better cars, homes and jobs

Cook turkey, dressing and pies

And fuss over all the work

It is hard to remember sometimes

Why we join to give thanks

Often those with the least

Will give thanks the most

It's not about what we have

Or what we don't at times

It's remembering your blessings

And those not quite so blessed as well

So when you bow your head

Over a table full and round

Remember the homeless, the lonely

The hungry, the happy, the sad

Remember it's not about the food

It's not about turkey and desert

It's thank you for my family

My love, my life, my God

Be thankful for the pleasure of giving thanks

And having thanks to give

It is by shear blessing to us all

We have this time to reflect on how we live
