Poem
What should I write on Thanksgiving Day? I don't think I will write about Thanksgiving But I will write about a heart not be thankful When you look around you And you don't see what you should be thankful for Are you sure about that? Are you sure that the life you have is your own? Are you sure that everything around you is your own doing? Are you sure you can claim whatever it is and not be afraid that you would not do the Giver justice? Before you go on your own dandy self ask yourself "how did I get here?" Did I come by accident or in a dream Or did you come because of other people put you here? For example, your parents If it wasn't for them, you wouldn't be here Your teachers and everyone that has ever imparted it to you Your fellow human beings If it wasn't for them, you would be in a life of confinement, solitary You would have no one to talk to Your mind would shrivel up with nowhere expanding Your companion and the persons you are close to You would have no one to confide to and keep you accountable and grounded Your feet would be in the air Because that is where you will land - on your bottom You would have nothing Because everything is made by God - through the people like you and me Don't discard what God did not discard Don't be so quick to throw everything away Here today, gone tomorrow The life we have is not our own You heard them say But do you believe it? Do you think you can last a thousand years? Do you think you can outrun others with no heed of a higher power who can make or break you? Do you live what you sow? Or are things all just random? There is a higher being And He is God Give thanks to the Man even though you know it not Give thanks to the teachers even though you learned it not as you keep learning Give thanks to the man downstairs who delivered you flower Ahh who may that be? Give thanks to the schoolgirl who made your day shine and bright Give thanks to your spirit man who keeps you out of trouble Deliver deliver And never stop deliver You are here today And that is a difference Let's make it worthwhile And deliver your mark Shoot
