Thanksgiving gratitude

by jake cosmos aller

On Thanksgiving Day
in the United States 
and Canada 
 
people gather
with family and friends 
and express Thanks
and gratitude 
 
and for the older folks
thanks for still being around 

Saying that
We are grateful
For the little things
In life

For the memories
for the food
that we will enjoy
on this day of giving thanks
 
 
and on Thanksgiving day
I often think back 
and give thanks
for my mother 
and my father
who raised me 
to be the man
that I am 
 
and especially to my Mom
who installed in me
a life-long love of reading
and writing 
 
I will be forever grateful
to them
wherever they happen 
to be
