A day for the turkey -
Candied yams and pumpkin pie -
The time to gather family
To gives thanks, is really why -
For, the bounty on our tables
And the freedoms, we all share
To do what'ere we're able -
To travel here and there -
Sometimes, we take for granted
The blessings of this land
From seeds, forefathers planted
Grown into something, so grand -
It's not perfect, in any way
But, nothing will ever be -
This place is still the greatest -
"My country, 'tis of thee".
