Happy Thanksgiving from our home to yours!

America the Pilgrims stand! On Plymouth Landing. . . wherein “Strangers” felled on downs of sand, on knee bending. . . giving thanks. . . Feet firm earth. . . on codling turf. . . Old Colony birthed. . . Bear in mind, How vast? Oh furious! Oceans profounding, on those long lost voyages! A cross too pounds! The deep rough seas. . . the lost, a board. . . such miseries! For the sake of God, against billow’s wakes Freedom embarks. . . Sing, “Home of the Brave!” The Anchor staid with a new found pride! When the English came together with the Algonquian tribe. . . Freshened breath. . . O’ soulful’s rest! Feathers stood ’side, the finest of dressed! Cool air passed against, their ‘Flower Fall again upon this rock. . . gather ye fruit.O’ hungry flock! Places at the table, Pilgrims full, filling all hopes and dreams come true ! Once Remembered and Esteemed, O’ Shame!. . . Our sweet land should always ring! Inalienable rights and immunities. . . An Almighty Blessing from those Cape Cod trees... ". . . as ye sow, so shall you reap!" Brave those souls, we should always keep! Our Founding Fathers. . . keep their face! Know the facts, and waves of grace! America! The Pilgrims stand! Lord please bless us all, and Our Homeland. . . America!, The Pilgrims stand! America!, The Pilgrims stand!

And a Happy Thanksgiving Day to your home too and that "Oh hungry flock" don't fight over the turkey's drum sticks!

Sounds like a lot of patriotism here in this song...and maybe we need a lot more of that in both your country and mine.

Your Pilgrim poetry rocks. Unfortunately, Plymouth's rock was rocked when Chrysler dropped the brand. May the Chinese save us now?

Sorry. You always invoke my humorous side.

Nice Kimmyfriend!
Happy Holidays to you too. And yes,
we surely need a lot more 'knee bending'
in this country.
Blessings ...

Kimmy,

This is absolutely beautiful. Stirring, beautiful lines that had me nodding my head throughout, and standing in admiration and patriotic pride - my new favorite of yours. Well done!
