I am thankful for for living in this great country. Thanks go out to this beautiful wondrous day. I am especially thankful for having met and became so many friends o’er the passage of Time. I am eternally grateful for those who have honored me with their invaluable camaraderie extraordinary advice (some of which I actually used). I am very thankful that I found nature to b a blessing Oh! There are so many things I am so very thankful for on this Thanksgiving Day 2017. Ahhh . . . but I would be remiss if I ended this meager poem out without thanking you, and particularly I give thanks to YOU! ©November 23, 2017 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Many well-deserved accolades for your poetry, Jerry...of which I add my own. But the thankfulness which is at the heart of your poem is what evokes a thankfulness of my own, such as having enough breaths to bring my reply to a conclusion and having enough left over to do it many times again. Best wishes for the coming holidays, Jerry. ...just bein' Bluesy |
