So Freedom Could Ring

Celeste St. John
Thanksgiving holidays are near

And usually are filled with cheer

But please don't focus on a bird

Or stuffing, sauce or gravy curd

To fill your hearts with gratitude

And determine your attitude

Please, remember the brave of old

Who sacrificed, endured the cold

To worship God in rest and peace

To make a new life for nephew, niece

And son & daughter near and far

The pilgrimage that started with a star

On a Christmas night provoked

These travelers to invoke

The only Name that bears repeating

Christ Jesus led these sheep a bleating

On Plymouth Rock and Jamestown too

So freedom could ring for me and you
