A THANKSGIVING POEM ABOUT SHARING AND CARING

"The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts. No Americans have been more impoverished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving." ~H.U. Westermayer


It's that time of year - a time of thanksgiving.

A time for communing. A time of forgiving.
Of starting the dinner with a heartfelt blessing
Then gorging on turkey, and gravy and dressing

Adding cranberries, 'tatoes, and two kinds of pie
It's a feast, beyond measure, that none can deny.
Start dieting now so you can eat what you will
forgetting remorse as you eat to your fill.

And if there are those with no place to go
make room at your table letting everyone know
that your home is a place of compassion and caring
on this day of conversing, well being and sharing.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!
