A Thanksgiving love poem:

The thing I am most thankful for is love:

Having yours, being able to love you.

It is a gift one takes possession of,

Not something any fortune might undo.

Knowing that you love me is a song

So beautiful I sing it through my day,

Glad to hear my whole world sing along

In harmony with what my feelings say.

Very little in my life is not

Immersed in us, in blessings that we share.

No gift could be more dear than what I’ve got,

Grace more pure than simply that you’re there.
