In late November every year there is a time we celebrate. These days of bounty we revere; with family and friends relate. There is a time we celebrate with joyous feasts of food and drink. Near end of Autumn, there's a date that we address to make us think. These days of bounty we revere; the fire aglow, sweet scent of food. With family, we gather near for prayers of thanks and joyful mood. With family and friends relate our joys of honoring this day. The same next year, we will await Thanksgiving Day again, we pray.
