Thanksgiving

Thank You Lord for bounteous blessings Hailing on us liberally. As we partake of Your bounty Not all are feasting, as are we. Knowing this, we pray the homeless Soon will have their hunger eased. Give them food and a safe shelter. That we care, we know You're pleased. Verily, You have commanded In our plenty, we must share, Not forgetting when we suffered, God of Mercy, you were there. November 18, 12 For "Counting Your Blessings" contest

It is so nice that you are thinking of the hungry and homeless this holiday season. It makes me feel sort of guilty that I have so many things they do not. I love the last four lines, they are such deep thoughts and yet they are still rhymed and metrical. I don't think I have seen something like that on an acrostic. Thanks for your thoughtful comments. Have a great Christmas!
