Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday

Because it shows the American way

Welcoming people of all backgrounds,

As with goodness our heart abounds

Surrounded by family and friends

Enjoying the meal until it ends

Like one nation we deploy

Our love and heart, with joy

The celebration brings good luck

Some come by car, and some by truck

We all love to share a great feeling

On the best day of Thanksgiving

The generous always gives his best

The stingy hides pennies in the chest

How nice it is to sit with loved ones,

And be it every year even just once.

While we celebrate together

We send our love and prayer

To those who cannot join today

That they may find help on the way

Thanksgiving is showing us how

We can all be united in love

Differences become irrelevant

As we all feel the blessing hand.
