Thankgiving Poem

A Holiday Rhyme and Rhythm

I have never been one for poetry
But in this great time of solemnity
I suppose a rhyme and rhythm would suffice
So here I toss the cards and roll the dice
In hopes of a good line or two
Before I close and bid ado

The greatness of the universe unfurled
I marvel at the beauty of the world
The feast in which I do partake,
Jollity to the depths of my soul doth take

The sound of laughter, the sound of friends
The blind course of life, what's beyond the bend
Yet each day brings smiles
Even if for but a while

Let us not question or doubt
Simply sing praises and shout
For one day forget the woes and fears
When you are around loved one and dears

Remember the good
As ever one should
And on this Thanksgiving,
Thank Him for living

I am not one to smile and laugh
Despite all the goodness my life doth hath
But from now on I pledge,
Amongst the darkness I'll wedge
A bit of sunshine to my living
And remember it each Thanksgiving
