Come on in the doors are open
Don't stay out in the cold
The turkeys done, the dressings hot
All are welcome, young and old
Tell the homeless to come in
Bring that beggar in the street
They are poor and all alone
They are hungry and need to eat
The pie's coming out of the oven
The potatoes fluffy and white
The gravy is hot and ready
Everything is cooked just right
You have an open invitation Feel free to pull up a chair
It doesn't matter how you look
I don't care what you wear
The needy, the hurting, the lonely
Are all wecome to my call
That sad old man in the alley
Who has no family at all
Lets all hold hands and bow our heads
Bless this food, we pray
And for all my friends at my table
On this Thanksgiving Day

You hit the real reason for Thanksgiving right on the head.
Giving...what a beautiful write.
Thanksgiving is about thanks, but also "giving". You've given in so much in this well versed poem. Happy Thanksgiving and God Bless You for your generosity.

Christmas - only days away; plastic snowmen and glowing reindeer adorn the lawns of neighborhoods all across America. All is calm, all is bright, and yet there is something tragically wrong about this Christmas night.
