Thanksgiving
I give thanks to the retailer:
"Thank you very much."
To the toll taker:
"Thanks for working the holiday."
And I got back:
"God bless you," from her.
I don't say it only because
It's what I was taught
But because it's quick,
Doesn't cost anything
And it feels good.
I thank God that
I'm given this day.
Flo, my Mom, Dad and Sister,
For all the love they give.
Thanks for making the bed.
Thanks for doing the dishes.
If I tweeted or had a Facebook account,
I'd find a way to thank
All of my friends.
Thanks for being there.
Thanks for being you.
Thanks for letting me love you.
