Giving Thanks

   Thanksgiving is a very special time of year but I do not think that many people really sit down and think of all their blessing that they should be thankful for. 

   I have composed this poem in honor of the holiday and would like to take the time and share it with you.

Thanks.

What is it to you?

Take time and give it thought for just a few.

Is it a feeling deep inside,

that goes against all your human pride?

Or is it something you can keep way in your heart

even when it feels as though your world is crumbling apart.

Many are blessed, some feel as if cursed

but thanks helps you put all others first.

It helps you consider the goods

and realize all of life's coulds.  

How we could face hunger, fear, and war

 yet we live at peace and are still blessed with more.

Around us is a world full of pain

but if we give thanks we might just gain.

Though we have problem's, the good is so great

so consider all you have, before it's to late .

What a difference gratitude makes    

so this holiday, take time in giving true thanks.
