Paulette Calasibetta Poet Rhyme

Giving Thanks

In these uncertain times,
                           Where the world seems dark and bleak,
                           Nature offers the peace and solace, that I seek.

                                   I am thankful for the sunrise
                                     That meets me everyday,
                                  The chattering of migrant birds,
                                         Going on their way.

                              The changing palette of the meadow,
                                      Adorned in seasonal fare,
                            The towering trees, whose brawny boughs
                                  Reach high, in the crisp autumn air.

                                        I am Thankful for
                                    The work of God alone,
                                 The abundance on our table,
                           The warmth of family, hearth, and home.

                                         I Am Thankful

And I am hoping a way through this man made Tempest of fear and blame; just the same At times I doubt for man is so vindictive none Moreo than when feigning friendship..'
