Thanksgiving Poem

Thanksgiving 2009

Another year has rushed on by--the summer’s quickly passed
We’ve said goodbye to summer’s sun; we knew it couldn’t last
The autumn’s chill has settled in; the leaves have changed and dropped
Our thoughts have turned to winter--the seasons won’t be stopped

And Thanksgiving’s now upon us--The holiday we love
We’re thankful for those we cherish; Especially Him above
We take the time to ponder on our blessings great and small
And we marvel at His goodness and the love He gives to all

Thanksgiving is the start--of a season filled with cheer
A moment before the hustle starts as the shopping season nears
Don’t let the moments pass you by-- and get lost in the season’s haste
Take the time to savor, the love, the joy, the taste

Tell your friends you need them--hug and hold them tight
Kiss your babes and love them, as you tuck them in tonight
Be grateful for your family, your friends and others dear
And have a great Thanksgiving--with loads of holiday cheer
