Thanksgiving is here, another year <br />I give thanks to the Lord for my life <br />for my family and friends so dear. <br />I thank Him for His peace, no strife <br />As I get closer to Him, He is near. <br /> <br />Thanksgiving is time to just reflect <br />on past accomplishments and plans <br />for the years’ growth, every aspect. <br />I’m thankful He has made me stand <br />in faith and love, is what He expects. <br /> <br />Oh, Lord, grant us peace and mercy <br />at this time we call “Thanksgiving”. <br />Help us to remember and to foresee <br />Your goodness in all of our living. <br />Forgive us our sins. They are many. <br /> <br />As we gather around bountiful tables <br />Help us not forget the needy, the poor, <br />from the old and those in their cradles <br />that might come to knock on our door. <br />Help us Lord to give as we are able.<br /><br />Kathryn Tyler King<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thanksgiving-2008/
