Thanksgiving, a day to express gratitude
Our hearts filled with a joyful attitude
We gather around loved ones near
To share our thanks, loud and clear
For the food that's about to hit our plate
For the love and warmth that resonate
For the blessings that surround us all
For the many moments both big and small
Giving thanks to God for our family and friends
For the joy and the support that never ends
For the laughter, cries, smiles, and precious time
For the wonderful memories, forever sublime
Thanksgiving is a time for us to reflect and see
The beauty in life, the blessings that be
Let's be grateful, every single day
While spreading thankfulness along the way.
