Grateful for many things in life,
I ponder each, of now and then,
Multitude of blessings mine,
Tangible, intangible,
Earthly and divine.
I give thanks
For all
Given

Happy Thanksgiving and Blessings to all of you!
Thank you God
For the trees that wave
Good Morning
To me
As I gaze in wonder
At he whose wings beat wildly
While he drinks nectar
In the rain
The breeze brings
a brown leaf to greet me
Upon the window pane
He stops briefly
As if to say
We are both aged
yet
let’s keep moving, seeking,
Another day of life
As if on cue
future minded squirrel
scurries past
gathering acorns
supplied by the waving trees
Ah, so much life surrounds me!
I give thanks
For all that be
and for eyes that see
thru the window to the world
Just outside my door
Where all God’s creation breathes
And lives
And encourages me
To do the same.
Free Verse
Today’s a special time
To stop and reflect on life
Thankful for family
And friends, health, and provison
God has blessed me with much
Tanka
I give thanks and praise
God for your infinite ways
Which provide favor
Beyond finite comprehension
To those who call upon You

In the news today I see
Christmas Sales have begun
That’s what retailers are promoting
Now that Halloween is done
No more waiting for Black Friday
Stores are open Thanksgiving Day
Cyber Monday is no more
Shoppers need more time they say
So forget about Thanksgiving
That Holiday is obsolete
Consumers need extra time to shop
Not give thanks, stay home, and eat.
