Thank you for the heaven's gold <br />That shines upon our days <br />The silver moons and yellow suns <br />That warm us with their rays <br /> <br />Thank you for the changing times <br />And seasons, one and all <br />A golden harvest, sun-filled walk <br />A simple bat and ball <br /> <br />Thank you for the gift of love <br />The power of inner strength <br />The courage to face each passing day <br />No matter what its length <br /> <br />Thank you for the children <br />For the innocence of life <br />For hopeful smiles that see us through <br />The days we're filled with strife <br /> <br />Thank you for our friendships <br />And our families, all so dear <br />For optimism, joy and peace <br />The power to conquer fear <br /> <br />Thank you for the unity <br />America embraces <br />The love, respect, endurance <br />Spread among our precious races <br /> <br />And thank you for Thanksgiving <br />This our day to now join hands <br />To treasure what this world provides <br />And all for which it stands <br /> <br />(2001) <br />©2012 All Rights Reserved<br /><br />Holly Jamestone<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-day-of-thanks/
