Perhaps you will gather with family and friends,
Or perhaps at a table of strangers this year.
No matter your state or the place you are in,
I pray you are grateful for what you hold dear.
It’s not about fortune or fame or control,
But learning to love and to share and to give.
By giving to others, you’ll find in your soul
A joy and a peace as you learn how to live.
Thanksgiving the focus is mostly on thanks,
But the giving is also important to do.
It’s often ignored, second place in the ranks.
It’s not about money but sharing time too.
Find time to be thankful and give from your heart,
Find ways to reach out, you have much to impart.
Hi John,
I was happy to see the link today and to sample your new poems. You and your wife are in my prayers this holiday season and beyond!
Take care,
Becky
