Thanksgiving Day
Daylight sneaks over the horizon
So long we did not see it
Hearts and minds drink in the light
On Thanksgiving Day.
So long we did not see it
Hearts and minds drink in the light
On Thanksgiving Day.
A fresh wind blows with a hint of chill,
Sweeps the glorious leaves
Of red and yellow and orange and brown
They fly like birds on Thanksgiving Day.
Today I am not alone.
I cherish friends and family
Who gather in gratitude
For the year, the good and bad.
Sorrow and joy remembered
On Thanksgiving Day.
Later I grow quiet as I ponder
Special stories of my life;
Achievement here, failure there
I thank You, God, for I'm alive
On Thanksgiving Day.
