Halloween decorations will fade from the lawns,
Soon bright colored lights will be burning ’til dawn.
But tucked in between don’t forget or ignore
A day of Thanksgiving recalling once more
The bountiful blessings poured down from above.
It’s a time to reach out to share blessings and love.
It’s a time to be thankful and also to give.
By helping another we learn how to live.
Christmas is coming and soon will be here,
But a time to give thanks and reflect on the year
Is a pause that’s much needed to set the right tone,
Be mindful of others so no one’s alone.
Sometimes it’s the pauses in life I love best,
Taking time to be grateful, count ways I am blessed.
