Rhymes of Thanksgiving

A beautiful scenic autumn day

Birds fly south to escape the winter

Courtesy guiding us through Thanksgiving prayers

Dinner lovingly prepared by your favorite relatives

Excellent days of walking and the leaves turning colours

Fresh crisp air breathing in and out and enjoying God's blessings

Gardens of beauty with roses of red and pink and yellow and white

Houses elegant and refined and apartments of all shapes and sizes

Islands of humanity kind and benevolent and friendly and caring

Jays singing their song amidst the tall pine trees

King and Queen regally visiting our country and blessing us all

Loving and caring relatives who come and visit us on these special holidays

Majestic nature forever a good companion and friend

New clothes the shades of autumn complimenting humanity

Ovation and encore for autumn's majesty and miracles

Pioneers of the past remembered and a cornucopia of thanks

Quests for true happiness and real thanksgiving

Religious prayers and churches and a sacred blessing from God

Sounds of Thanksgiving where families are gathered in celebration

Universally aknowledged togetherness and friendship

Vivacious and lively days and nights, sacred and honourable

Weather varied warm and cool and pleasant and unpleasant

Xtra days of summer the Indian days of summer guest

Yesterdays' memories and todays' living experiences

Zealous and progressive and tunes of autummn songs well sung
