Thankless Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a gift placed upon the table Eaten with only thought’s of the stomach Placed before the eye waiting to be filled Golden brown bread and melting butter Thought’s running through your head of hunger A wish on a Turkey wish bone with football games Forgetting what you should have wished upon Thankful is what’s received in vain Family gatherings with looks of importance Yet, thought’s wondering about these football games Snow all around with children building a snowman Glee and happiness but forgetting a blessing This, a blessing of love and happiness Contest: Thanksgiving Sponsored By: Regina McIntosh Dated Created: 10/31/2020

Unfortunately too many days are taken for granted in our lives, Wedding Anniversaries, Birthdays, Easter Day, Christmas Day, Mother Day, Fathers Day and Family day, a day of thanksgiving - what a beautiful day to remember and give thanks to God for. Well penned dear friend, hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

yes, many people just take so many things for granted, even on a day that is all about thanks! family is the most important, not the football game!! Love this, Bobby.
