Thanksgiving For Freedom's Seed
Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday
Hearkening back to the days of the pilgrims,
Giving thanks for a bountiful harvest this way.
Over the centuries, celebrated by millions,
A time for reflecting on blessings received
Among them is the example of Roger Williams.
Who stood up strongly for what he believed
Establishing a free church in Rhode Island,
The right to worship as we please was conceived.
Reasons for Thanksgiving throughout the land
Are as numerous as our citizenries’ imagination
Always pertinent, interesting, and never bland.
No matter what our circumstances or station
Let’s give hearty thanks for our blessings indeed
But most of all let’s all be grateful for our nation,
For forefathers who nourished freedom’s seed.
