Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. This week’s theme is Thanksgiving, which was celebrated yesterday,
November 23.
Today’s poem is a Thanksgiving poem thanking God for the
gift of gratitude.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Thank You for the gift of being thankful.
Here is one gift we can both enjoy!
A gift that can at will my spirits buoy,
Needing only will to yield a heartful.
Knowledge won't engender gratitude;
Some may know a lot and yet feel little.
Grace comes hot and hearty off the griddle;
In some, though, there's no hunger for such food.
Voices sing of paradise at will.
I hear them when I start to sing alone.
Nor do I cease to hear them when they're gone,
Glad to be alive and thankful still.
