Thanksgiving

The lord sends us thanksgiving each year,

Holy memories of parents and children reunited,

A beautiful autumn walk, leaves blushing colors,

New reasons for worshipping God,

Kind and thoughtful days at church,

Songs of worship and thanksgiving,

God sends us many excellent blessings

Islands of traditions, blessing humanity,

Very devout time of year,

Ideas to transcend conformity,

Now the tables are set decoratively,

Goodness and thankfulness to the Lord.
