Notes About The Poem

All of us have something for which to be thankful; so do it.

Tomorrow Is Thanksgiving

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving
Be thankful every day
When meeting someone on the street
Have a pleasant word to say

A quick hello, how do you do
As you look them in the face
Doesn't matter gender, age,
  Nationality or race 

We're on this Earth together
We're the brotherhood of man
We're supposed to love each other
Of this mindset I'm a fan

Work to overcome all prejudice
It's a foolish waste of time
If we worked to help each other
We might do away with crime

Didn't mean to ramble so
When I started with this verse
I wrote of being thankful
For there are those who have it worse

There but for the grace of God
Could  be your way to go
Don't look down on anyone
Tip your hat and say hello

I pray that your Thanksgiving
Is spent with peace and joy
I really have go for now
And find someone to annoy

Just had to add some humor
Must laugh each and every day
Love and joy is everything
Now that's all I have to say

The question is: did annoy, annoy or did it make you smile? I'm glad you liked it. It'd possible to be too serious. Thanks for visiting.
