Blessings For Thanksgiving

United at the family hearth the united kindred do gather, Heart and home filled with holiday warmth, these are the Blessings of Thanksgiving. Legacy’s treasured reunion, our loved ones sharing traditions Sacred season, with their heads bowed low in prayers faith, Then feasting in graces bounty of love. Blown from heaven is the horn of plenty, by the angels of the lord Almighty, blessing this table filled with honesty’s joyous festivities, Humbled in this picturesque display of friendship and devotion In cherishes memories of celebration, we do reflect in life’s After glow bathing in its remnants of remembrances of The past. Slenderly, sliced is this piece of the American Apple pie, Placed gingerly upon the international feasting tray, For those to share both homewards and abroad. In our society of diversity, we are united beneath many Flags and cultures, yet this is the true meaning Of this holiday of blessings promise to be Thankful for our differences and uniqueness, And to share in loves dream of togetherness. Stirred in our great American melting pot, Are color, creed and religious indifference? To expose the warmth of humanities kindred ship, And acceptance, blanketed beneath freedom’s Calling of the stars and stripes liberty bell. The solders of international valor, lay down their Arms of war, united in the holiday of life’s brotherhood. To share the blessings of traditions answer to one Day know peace at last. Thanksgiving miracle in truth, is hands crossing over The shores of ignorance, pulling off the blinders of Intolerance and bowing our heads in prayer at a broader Scale’s table of sharing with our fellow man. United at the family hearth the united kindred do gather, Heart and home filled with holiday warmth these are The true blessing of Thanksgiving. BY: CHERYL ANNA DUNN
