As Thanksgiving Nears

As Thanksgiving nears, I reflect
on the blessings of my past year
filled with all that I hold most dear.
Sunshine days with flowers perfect.
Autumn’s colors that all respect
	as Thanksgiving nears.

Other memories I inspect
of frisky frogs and graceful deer,
pleasant pastures with rivers near 
and mountains from the Architect
	as Thanksgiving nears.
