Thanksgiving
Many days before the event
The preparations do take place.
Buying the food, setting the table,
It can be a frantic race.
To be prepared for Thanksgiving Day
When the family all does meet,
To share their lives with each other
As that turkey they all eat.
We give thanks for another year
How God has blessed you and me.
Good health, our family, food to eat,
And other blessings we do not see.
We also gather to review this year
And what a year it has been.
The horrific fires in California
And the smoke for miles it did send.
There are many problems we could dwell on
But what good would all that do?
We will be thankful for what we have
and have a grateful heart too.
So Thanksgiving is a special day
So I would like to say,
"May we always have a thankful heart
Each and every day."
