Thanksgiving

 

Children running everywhere,

Wrap them up,

Tap the spirit,

Try roping the clouds,

Thanksgiving…living,

Where we are,

People of every age,

Gather this day,

To give thanks,

When families gather,

Acorns do not fall far from the tree,

When families gather acorns,

 Do not fall far from the tree,

Thanksgiving erases commas,

Thanksgiving embraces:

God,

Love,

Thanks for everything!

Harvest and abundance,

Family,

And, community!

Thanks be to God!

Thanks are to God!
