Happy Thanks-Given

I had a friend with a unique way of looking at the world (although I once thought she was misled) because when the rest of us said ‘Happy Thanksgiving’ ‘Happy Thanks-given’ is what she said. It is a day we come together and give thanks for all the ways we have been blessed for our health our happiness our friends our family all the treasures we possess… For years we’ve come together we’ve flown we’ve taken trains we’ve driven… to celebrate not only this Thanksgiving but years of thanks already given… So as you sit down for your feast this year as you’ve done so may times before… to give thanks for this years blessings remember all the years you’re thankful for…. Remember all the thank yous over the years you have amassed… and how our thank yous of today and tomorrow are linked to thank yous of the past. I guess my friend was right all along so allow me….If I may to wish you not only a Happy Thanksgiving but a Happy Thanks-given day.

Dear Jim. This is a very well-crafted, rhymed verse. It flows so well, and the theme has touched my heart and given me something to ponder.
