Thanksgiving With Family
& Friends
October 13, 2025
By Rose Marie Rideout
You ask, what am I thankful for?
Well let me answer you.
Family and friends full of love,
A love that's oh so true
.
I'm thankful for the life I have,
The food laid on my table.
I wish that I could feed all hungry,
I would if I were able.
I'm thankful for my home,
The warmth that I have here,
The beds so warm and comfy,
I wish truly that I could share.
I'm thankful for God above,
For all that He has given.
To give us the means,
To live the life we're living.
I'm thankful that I can see,
All nature has to share,
That I"m able to write my words,
To show others how I care.
I'm thankful for my husband,
For chosing me to be his wife,
For all the years he worked hard,
To give me comfort in my life.
You ask, what am I thank for?
I can write for evermore,
For all I have in my whole life,
I'll forever be grateful for.
Happy Thanksgiving to all my dear friends,
I pray you have reasons to be thankful for,
I pray you had food on your table, to share
With family and friends who come to your door.
And you mentioned nature in your poem briefly. We must never celebrate our good fortune at the loss of nature. We must preserve nature for it is the underpinning of why we are thankful.
