THANKSGIVING

In the United States, we set
Aside the fourth Thursday
In November to be with friends
And family for Thanksgiving Day.

We remember our blessings,
And thank the Lord.
We should thank Him daily--
But this day we're all of one accord.

We have a large dinner, everyone
Brings a dish.  Some eat turkey,
Some ham, or whatever is
Traditional for their family.

Fellowship, good food, and sometimes
There's a game on TV for the sports
Fans to watch.  This day commemorates the first
Thanksgiving, a coming together as one of sorts.

The Pilgrims and the Indians came
Together in peace, each bringing food.
They ate and weren't judgmental--
Each in a thankful mood.

Whether you're fixing the dinner,
Or going somewhere else--
Be thankful for friends and family,
And that you're not by yourself.
