The
Great Pumpkin having come and gone,
Golden leaves now cover the
lawn.
We've already seen a frost or two
And Summer fare's been replaced by
stew.
The shops are displaying only Christmas things.
Thanksgiving
break now homeward brings
Pilgrims returning from schools far
away,
Grandchildren and parents arriving to stay.
As we bow our heads
and carve our meat,
We need to remember those out on the street,
With no
festive table or cozy chair,
No feelings of thanks - only despair.
For
thanks we can give to others instead
The gifts of the season: good food, warm
bed.
Let your light so shine before men
That Thanksgiving returns again
and again.
And as we sit down to the Thanksgiving table
Let us all
pray that we may be able
To help spread throughout the land
The love that
is spread by a true helping hand.
