Thanksgiving

I am thankful for what I have and what I do not have, seeing the trials and tribulations of those less fortunate -- thankful for shadows as well as brilliance, humanity often lost in the opulent glare thankful for the weight of poverty, my soul bears asking not to be kept from hunger and thirst that brings me nearer to Thee – trusting always that You will provide, whatever my spirit needs to soar with Graces – Blessings to all!

What a sincere and profuse expression of gratitude, accepting the limitations and grateful for the abundance in comparison with the less fortunate. Looking down and comparing our status is the best way to remain content. If we look up, it will only lead to greed and frustration. The real spirit of Thanksgiving, I see in this poem.
