The First Thanksgiving

There would be no America hadn't it been for the Native American Indian having compassion on the Puritans. The europeans who came to the Americas for religious freedom, dying, freezing in the cold, without food. I think sometime we forget the true meaning of Thanksgiving and why the America we know today and love esist! Turkey day is so inappropriate! Peace!!!

The pilgrims those puritans,

wher dying, starving, barely living,

Native Amererican Indians brought

corn, turkeys, the first Thanksgiving!

Yes, the pilgrims could not have survived,

if the indians brought not buffalo hides.

Warming their bodies through freezing Wintry nights,

without the heathens help death was their plight.

Puritans believed in God all men are born free,

and that God had a Son crucified on a tree!

And all people are the work of God's hand,

brothers and sisters our father of faith, Abarham!

The indians had their God and great chiefs,

flourishing culture, respect, and spiritual belief.

It the indians had not taken core of their fellow man,

would there have been a Jamestown or an American?

They have been called heathens, savages

nearly four huncred years ago indians were driven,

buy God to help save the Caucassian race,

with provision for the first Thanksgiving.

Michael,
AMEN! This write tells it like it is. Thanksgiving and Christmas have been so commercialized that the TRUE meaning has been lost. Thanksgiving to some only means turkey and dressing, Christmas to some only mean shopping and gifts. The true meaning is lost in brightly colored paper and ribbons. Michael, you are a true Christian friend and an awesome poet.

Many blessings,
~Linda
