Thanksgiving


Flickering candles on the table

Heart so full you might burst

We won’t just have turkey and mashed potatoes

We’ll think of things that make our hearts swell

Like the pilgrims who sailed to

Our free country and who fought for freedom

On Christmas night and the Veterans after

Who kept freedom going and for the poppies

Who share the feeling of hope in the middle

Of war.

Freedom, love, family, honor

These are things worth

Any sacrifice

We won’t give up!

Sometimes it seems like it, but we are not alone.

Because people dare to defend

Freedom,

We have these blessings today.

We will not forget.

Happy Thanksgiving!
