A Thanksgiving Day to Remember

On this day, with hearts full wide,

We gather 'round, no need to hide.

The table set, the candles glow,

A tapestry of love we sow.

The harvest rich, the season bright,

A feast that warms the soul tonight.

But deeper still, beyond the plates,

We pause to cherish simple fates.

For thankfulness is not just food,

It's found in every mood and mood.

In moments quiet, in laughter loud,

In acts of kindness, pure and proud.

The scent of turkey fills the air,

But gratitude is everywhere.

In every smile, in every cheer,

In every story, year to year.

The world may spin with hurried pace,

But here we find a sacred space.

To pause and look, to truly see,

The gifts of life—so wild, so free.

The autumn leaves, a golden hue,

A reminder of the things we knew.

That life’s true riches, far and wide,

Are found in love, not in what’s tied.

So here we sit, hands joined as one,

With hearts that beat like a beating drum.

We lift our thanks, not just today,

But every dawn, in every way.

For family near, for friends so dear,

For all the moments we hold near.

For struggles faced, and lessons learned,

For every page that we’ve yet turned.

We thank the earth, the sky, the sun,

For all the battles we have won.

And all the ones still left to fight,

We trust the journey will be right.

We give thanks for the meals we share,

For those who’ve gone and those still there.

For health, for peace, for dreams anew,

For knowing there's always more to do.

The day may end, the feast may fade,

But in our hearts, the thanks are laid.

For gratitude is not a day,

It’s how we live, it’s how we pray.

So on this day, as we reflect,

We honor life, with deep respect.

For Thanksgiving isn’t just one feast,

It’s a life lived full, from west to east.

And as the stars above us gleam,

We know this day is just a dream—

A dream that wakes, that stays, that stays,

A life of thanks in countless ways.

Here’s to the joy, the love, the grace,

That fills our hearts, in every space.

On Thanksgiving Day, we pause and say—

Thank you, thank you, for today.
