Will You Sit At the Table Today

Once again it is time to give thanks,
For all that we have on this day.
Some of us will sit at the table,
Bow our heads and pray.
Be thankful for the food we eat,
For family, friends and foe.
For safe keeping and all shared love.
Is this the Thanksgiving that you know?

Around our table, this is wealth.
Good family, friends and good health.


"Happy Canadian Thanksgiving" to you all in Poetry Soup World.
