Thanksgiving Poem - Bountiful Beauty of Mankind

Nikki
Poems tell a story and convey emotion. Poetry comes in many forms and are written with a wide variety of intents. The interpretation of a poem is subjective, and each person that might read it could interpret the meaning differently.

I'm not a poet and not quite sure this submission truly qualifies as a "poem" ... but these words and thoughts come to mind when I think of Thanksgiving. Thankful, Help, Acceptance, Nurture, Kindness, Share, Gratitude, Ideals, Value, Integrity, Nation, Goodness.

Bountiful Beauty of Mankind

T - thankful - Be thankful to God for all things

H - help - Help your fellow man every chance you get

A - acceptance - Accept and embrace others in spite of differences

N - nurture - Nurture truth and knowledge

K - kindness - Spread kindness and watch it grow

S - share - Share what you have whenever you can

G - gratitude - Be grateful for every opportunity to better the life of someone else

I - ideals - Remember and respect the ideals of our forefathers

V - value - Value friendship and love above material possessions

I - integrity - Conduct yourself with integrity in all things

N - nation - One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all

G - goodness - Goodness is bountiful ... take time to look for goodness and inner beauty in all mankind

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
