(dedicated to Ms. Elī na Garanč a, a great mezzo-soprano) <br /> <br />This autumn is so relief <br />I hope it is a purely day <br />I have spiritual sense <br />Inside my very heart <br /> <br />I would like to attend <br />The ceremony or travel <br />Long distances with my family <br />I hope we have a large dinner too <br /> <br />We are as a family <br />Gather together <br />Yes, it’s the time <br />To a family reunion <br /> <br />I invite my all family, all friends <br />We are happily cooking together <br />We are happily eating together <br />We are happily talking together <br /> <br />Sweet potatoes <br />Pumpkin pie <br />Cranberries <br />A turkey <br /> <br />When crops are gathered <br />We are all thank God <br />We would also celebrate <br />National Unity, the harvest <br /> <br />I share what I have <br />With those who don’t have <br />I provide free meals <br />For the poor, old people, homeless <br /> <br />I prepare meals for them <br />I serve meals for them <br />I give meals for them <br />I sing Prayer of Thanksgiving with them <br /> <br />(inspired by Thanksgiving Celebration)<br /><br />Ahmad Shiddiqi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-lesson-of-life-thanksgiving/
