Thanksgiving Must Be Near

When autumn's leaves pepper down

And anxiety shows on ole Tom's face;

Then the Roger’s plan a trip out of town

To visit relatives and share table grace.

When kids plan for a mini vacation,

Our country readies the celebration;

Then America chooses to remember

That day long ago in November.

When gratitude permeates the air

And humbled hearts offer prayer;

Then Thanksgiving must be near.

When Sam O'Neil portrays John Smith,

And Inga proudly becomes Pocahontas;

As history dispels the modern myth,

While at fidgety kids, teachers fuss.

When strangers hold hands to pray to God

And thank Him for freedom's sod.

When the community extends a hand

And kindness covers this blessed land.

When gratitude permeates the air

And humbled hearts offer prayer;

Then Thanksgiving must be near.
