THANKSGIVING There are really two words There is "thanks" and there is "giving" Sometimes, not enough "thanks" For the life that we are living. There are so many others Who don't share our blessing Who, are lucky to eat at all Much less than turkey/dressing. Some don't even have a roof No place, they can call home Sleeping under the bridges Or hallways that they roam. No decent clothes against the cold Holes in the shoes on their feet Usually scorned by those of us They may pass by on the street. In this great land of plenty It seems to me, a horrid crime That we can't take care of our own In such a prosperous time. The "bottom line", "what can I make?" "What things can I go and buy?" "I can go in debt for Christmas gifts." But, can't spare a buck for "that" guy. Seems, some of us are into "thanks" (Though most, take it for granted) And all we want is more and more Of what greed's seed has planted. Wonder what it would be like If we cared as much about "giving" I think it would make a better life Than, the one, that we are living! Del "Abe" Jones |
