An Original Thankgiving Poem For You

Giving Thanks © 2021

As we gather around the table tomorrow

May we reflect with thanks and not sorrow

Of those who came to America’s shore

Filled with hope for what was in store

They toiled, they cried, they prayed

For on their hearts the Lord laid

A promise of worshipping in a new land

So strong on them was His hand

They took the arduous journey aboard

A ship built only to stay close to the shore

After 66 days at sea, they finally arrived

Within months only about half would survive

After suffering severe cold and loss untold

Miracle after miracle did unfold

Two English speaking Indians appeared

Taught them to fish, farm, and told why their land was cleared

A fast friendship formed and with a peace treaty made

A bountiful harvest came and to God the Pilgrims praised

The first Thanksgiving was a communal three-day feast

That included lobster, turkey, deer, corn, and leeks

400 years later we still sit and dine

As we do, let our mouths give praise to the Divine.

 

May we have the faith of the Pilgrims, the friendship of the Indians, and the Godly resolve of being an American.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
