Show THANKSGIVING What is Thanksgiving day to you, What does it signify? And do you then your faith renew Or do you think of pie? Do you in truth breathe gratitude For blessings you have had? Or is it jusi the thought of food Which makes your heart feel glad? Upon the fir.tt Thanksgiving day The Pilgrims all did feast; P.ut as they bowed their neafls In prayer. Of that they thought the least. It is 'his day of gratitude Which we perpetuate; But as the years pass we make food The symbol of the date. But so"- "tere i1 among the years Which i .-vo passed by since then, We've lost the gratitude, the fears, Which filled the hearts of men. We've lost the plain simplicity . Thev had in days of yore; And yet you know it seems to me We need it more and more So when Thanksgiving nay roKt round. Let's pause in gratitude; And though all good things here abound Let's not just think or rood. |
