Thanksgiving : Holiday Poetry

written by Poet : eternal-devotion


    Thanksgiving

        This Thanksgiving Day

         As we set at our table

    giving thanks to our God above

      remember why we are able

     to be here with those we love.

 

   Our men and women went to war

      on that far and distant shore

    they knew that blood would flow

        and really didn't want to go.

 

       But they clearly saw the need

      it was a calling they had to heed

       as they left our shores behind

  they prayed for peace for all mankind.

 

      Let us give thanks to one and all

       who answered the battle call

        and send our prayers of love

  soaring overseas on the wings of a dove.
