Today is a day for all Americans to stop and give thanks

Businesses are all closed including stores and the banks

 

We should all spend the day with our spouse and our kids

Laughing and talking while eating those turkeys and pigs

 

Some family’s will not be together for reasons beyond their control

Some may live far away but are with family in their heart and their soul

 

Americans today are the most fortunate people on this earth

Able to enjoy days like this in freedom from the time of their birth

 

So in the oven put your pumpkin pie and enjoy your great meal

And take a moment to give thanks for all of life’s pleasures you feel

 

From My World to Yours,

Bob Baker
