When the Pilgrims
first gathered together to share
with their Indian friends in the mild autumn air,
they lifted their voices in jubilant praise
for the bread on the table, the berries and maize,
for field and for forest, for turkey and deer,
for the bountiful crops
they were blessed with that year.
They were thankful for these as they feasted away,
and as they were thankful we're thankful today.
Happy Thanksgiving
