What would a Thanksgiving Holiday be without a Hymn of praise and gratitude for family, friends, food, celebration, and hope! 

-----------

Verse 1: In the heart of Thanksgiving's traditions, beneath God's vast, crystal blue, Families gather 'round His table, a quilt of memories old and new. The harvest moon, a canvas painted, the earth adorned in yellow and gold, We celebrate togetherness, in His love, our spirits unfold. Chorus: Oh, let our hearts be thankful, let our spirits soar, In the abundance of His blessings, we find ourselves once more. For the depths of His love, we are forevermore, With every leaf that's falling, with every star He aligns, We see the beauty of His world, in these sacred times. Verse 2: The aroma of pies, sweet nostalgia, dancing through the air, Warmth from His love and friendship, in our family, we share. Cornucopias brimming, a mother's gifts, a banquet of delight. A hearth's tender glow, a loving family reunites, an eternal rite. Chorus: Oh, let our hearts be thankful, let our spirits soar, In the abundance of His blessings, we find ourselves once more. In the depths of His love, we are forevermore, With every leaf that's falling, with every star He aligns, We see the beauty of His world, in these sacred times. Bridge: In the quietude of a twilight's cloak, as the day gently fades, We gather in hushed reverence, beneath the stars' serenades. With hearts turned to our heavenly Father, we reflect on His grace, In the warmth of our family circle, we find our sacred space. Chorus: Oh, let our hearts be thankful, let our spirits soar, In the abundance of His blessings, we find ourselves once more. In the depths of His love, we are forevermore, With every leaf that's falling, with every star He aligns, We see the beauty of His world, in these sacred times. Outro: As the day draws to its close, and the stars begin to gleam, We hold onto His promise, like a soft silk cashmere dream. With the melody of gratitude, that in our hearts does play, We give prayerful thanks for His love and hope on Thanksgiving day.

You capture the essence of thankfulness. A very pleasant piece. I only wish every day could be beautiful for everyone. Of course, the animal world is a different story....predators and prey, for example. It's not so great to be eaten. We have different views of life, but we're a lot the same. I love reading your work!! It brings a smile to my inner brain.

This is such a lovely hymn to God Almighty expressing our thankfulness for the blessings He is bestowing on us everyday. Our earth is endowed with so much of beauty for our eyes to see and enjoy. We can never offer God anything other than our sincerest gratitude. A lovely write that can be turned into a beautiful song. Thanks for your visit to my page and the lovely comment.

Happy Thanksgiving, Sara, you are always the kindest and most affirming and I am thankful! This poem gave me some problems for I could not get the emotions the way I wanted them, but with perseverance they developed with each iteration. - Blessings, Daniel
