Happy Thanksgiving

Here is a little something I wrote...

Thanks-giving...Giving thanks...
It’s something we celebrate each year.
It’s a time to thank God for all we have,
And a time to hold loved ones near.

I’m ever so thankful for family and friends...
I won’t forget what they’ve given me.
Love, friendship, support, and guidance...
Without all that...just where might I be?

And those that have passed on...
They will never leave my heart.
I’m thankful for the time I had with them,
Even though, right now, we are apart.

Life is so very precious...
I remember this every day.
I know it can be a struggle for many;
It is for those that we should pray.

So today I count my blessings...
Even though it is so cold and gray.
I am warmed by the true spirit
Of this Thanksgiving Day.
