Thanksgiving

THANKSGIVING This time of year we begin to think It’s time to refresh our family links We look back on absences pled Or excuses we spoke; “so sorry”, we said Full of guilt, we really want to atone For the uncaring feelings we have sown Well then, give thanks all of you that have gone wrong A day of forgiveness, Thanksgiving, has dawned. We count our blessings upon which we depend As we gather around and join family and friends We repair open breaches and try to amend Family bonds we unintentionally did rend Stories, laughter and tears we yet again share Restoring our family-hood links we always wear Love, pride and leniency always there. This Thanksgiving Day our harmony is no surprise Family revives, survives and when each day dies Every day following echo’s yesterday’s sunrise This Thanksgiving let’s rejoice we are all here With family and friends we all hold dear In harmony and good will let’s eat, drink and cheer To a Happy Thanksgiving, our annual event And “God bless all of us”, cordially and warmly meant.
