Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is really not
That day in November,
When you eat and then
Lay back to remember
The good old days when
Mama cooked those pies.
And the older folks drank
And started telling lies,
About things that were
Of no consequence
About people and places
They haven’t seen since.
But for those of us
Who fear our God
Thanksgiving is what
We hold in our hearts.
When we never get that call
And it wasn’t our son
Who died in that brawl.
And we raise our hands
And we thank our Lord
For the grace He did impart.
And Thanksgiving is, yes
Right here in our hearts.
Think about that time
You fell deep into sin
On your way to destruction,
But your God reached in
Pulled you from ashes
Of addiction and pain
And restored life to you once again.
