A Day To Be Thankful
By Wendell Brown | November 23, 2011
I’m thankful for Thanksgiving Day
Because it brings to mind
The gifts I’ve had along the way
And blessings, every kind.
I’m thankful that I live my life
In this great land of ours,
That I’ve not had to give my life
And sleep beneath the flowers.
Much thanks must go to
all who fought
To keep us safe and free.
Their sacrifice has dearly bought
Our peace and liberty.
We should remember all who came
Before us through the years
They kept our country much the same
By action, sweat and tears.
Not ever does a day go by
That I forget my folks.
My mother baking apple pie,
My sister with her jokes.
My dad was like a magistrate,
Who ruled on each dispute.
The claims must all be free from hate,
He’d grant or he’d refute.
I owe a debt of gratitude
To teachers that I’ve had.
They helped to shape my attitude
And spanked when I was bad.
The Bible says Our Father, God
Will give us daily bread,
But I would not believe it odd
If two days passed instead.
There are so very many things
We should be thankful for.
It’s good we have a day which brings
God’s harvest to our door.
Turkey and Pumpkin Pie
And Friendship
