THANKSGIVING Gratitude: By Polly Guerin

















Haunting hungry faces remind me\
To remember how fortunate we are
To have abundant food--

Jobless, Joyless unemployed remind us
To remember how fortunate we are
To have work--

Abandoned aimless homeless remind us
To remember how fortunate we are
To have a safe home--

Suffering sick despair remind us
To remember how fortunate we are
To live without pain--

Charitable Giving Causes remind us
To remember how fortunate we are
To have funds to contribute--

Silent Sentinel beggars remind us
To Remember how fortunate we are
To show compassion--

Strangers stranded remind us 
To remember how fortunate we are
To give help--

Soldiers soldering alone remind us
To remember how fortunate we are
To acknowledge their sacrifice--

Seniors silently waiting remind us
To remember how fortunate we are
To give them comfort--

Thanksgiving celebrations remind us
To remember how fortunate we are
To partake in the bounty.
