    Poem Commentary

    As I face these holidays again, alone, I wish to lift all who find it hard to face. Our Lord has never left you, even one step of the way, your whole life. Being alone was always my greatest fear. Now that I have turned to face our Creator, being alone is the best thing that ever happened to me. Just reach out and find the Father who is always going to wait for you.

    Thanksgiving

    Thanksgiving's coming 'round again
    This year please be prepared
    To share it with a special friend
    That always has been there.

    As this year comes to a close
    A long list we shall write
    To the One who always knows
    And has held us thru the night

    Saying thank you for our eyes
    That open every day
    To new and beautiful skies
    And a Son that lights the way.

    Thank you for true Gratitude
    The best feeling we know
    It straightens any 'attitude'
    And helps our hearts to grow.

    This Thanksgiving dress to impress
    Don't let your brightness hide
    Reach out to one under duress
    Who's joy has been denied.

    And thank you for Joy unspeakable
    Though sometimes hard to know
    It truly remains seekable
    It shines in every rainbow.

    Say thank you we're forgiven
    For every regretful wrong
    Life is now worth living
    We're free to sing Love's song.

    In closing, one thing I must say
    I hope it comes out crystal clear
    Thanksgiving is for every day
    Not just one day a year!

    So very true, in that we should give thanks for each and every day we have in this life; as it is a gift. And this gift should be cherished not one day of the year, but for all.

    The message here is very true! It's a great reminder for us all to be thankful for even the smallest things and it's right on time for the holiday.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
