A Simple Thanksgiving – v2

His turn around the table
to share what he is thankful for
this Thanksgiving season, this year

A simple thanksgiving
so like the first Thanksgiving
in Plymouth, so long ago

Thankful for God, for this place
This land of ours, our home
our ability to believe, to worship
as our conscience, our faith guides

In a time of war, his words
a poignant reminder
of how much we truly have
to be thankful for,
each and every day
