THANKSGIVING

A day for the turkey –
Candied yams and pumpkin pie –
The time to gather family
To gives thanks, is really why –
For, the bounty on our tables
And the freedoms, we all share
To do what ere we’re able –
To travel here and there –
Sometimes, we take for granted
The blessings of this land
From seeds, forefathers planted
Grown into something, so grand –
It’s not perfect, in any way
But, nothing will ever be –
This place is still the greatest –
“My country, ‘tis of thee”.
