On Thanksgiving day this year,
before the turkey starts roasting
my thanks, I will be singing
for the dinner I’ll be hosting.
I will set the dining table,
with the gratitude I feel
before anyone comes
to feast upon the meal.
I will spread the hope,
that I’m feeling inside
before I even serve . . .
the food that God supplied.
I will polish up on all,
the reasons I’m thankful
before I even dish up
one blessed, single plateful.
On Thanksgiving day this year,
before the food I present
I will let everyone know . . .
just why I am so content!
~~~~~~~~~
“And having food and raiment
let us be therewith content.”
