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
