Happy Thanksgiving!
Here is my gratitude poem. (If you share it, please give credit.)
I am grateful…
To all long-term plotters,
And last-minute shleppers,
To early risers,
And all-week preppers;
To those who travel,
And those who stay,
To those who grumble,
And those who play;
To solo celebrators,
And party mavens,
To those who mourn,
And provide safe havens;
To diners-out,
And those facing a squall,
To those who relax,
And workers, all;
To families by blood,
And those we choose,
To angst sometimes quelled
By drugs or booze;
To those who won’t say much,
And those who speak up,
To those who stay silent
While raising their cup;
To those without homes,
And those who share theirs,
To those who serve kindness
Along with their prayers;
To natives and newbies,
To all types, all ways,
May all beings benefit,
Today and all days.
