Thanksgiving
Take time out to be grateful
for the person that is you,
for all your skills and talents
apparent in what you do.
There is no one just like you -
you're unique, one of a kind.
No one else thinks as you do
or knows what is on your mind.
How you use your special gifts
is entirely up to you.
although some may influence
your own learned point of view.
Be grateful for each day lived,
for your loved ones near and far,
for each challenge you take on
and for being where you are.
Let go of negative thoughts,
senseless grudges, fears and doubt.
Live each moment gratefully.
Now is what life is about.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Goodreads Review wrote:“Happy Thanksgiving – This poem is very lovely – I read it to the family (20) who gathered on Thanksgiving day here and it was also my grandson’s 35th birthday.”
"I don't normally seek to read poetry and not tied to a holiday, but Thanksgiving 2020 is not a typical year. I found the prose inspiring, reminiscent, and absolutely appropriate during a time we cannot all be seated together. So many details revealing memories and stories of my own. I'm sure everyone will experience their own unique journey reading this wonderful collection."
