On This Thanksgiving Day

On this Thanksgiving day
Let's be thankful for healthy body,
food, clothing and shelter
Resolve to take care of same

On this Thanksgiving day
Let's express our gratitude to nature
For providing us means of subsistence
Resolve to take care of it

On this Thanksgiving day
Let's be grateful to family members
for accepting us as we are
adjusting to our idiosyncrasies
Loving us

On this Thanksgiving day
Let's be thankful to elements of nature
who fill surrounds with beauty, music
bestow joy

On this Thanksgiving day
Let's resolve to not merely thank others
but give back what we get
with love and gratitude

Let's resolve to make
every moment Thanksgiving
by counting our blessings
lead blissful, ecstatic life
