Count Our Blessings Poem by Lynne Howard

Gathering around the table on Turkey Day
Hands joined together heads bowed to pray
Giving thanks for the food we share
And to our families who show they care
Let's be aware of how fortunate we are
Think of people in lands afar
To combat hunger is their plea
And to live in peace and harmony
So as we consume our turkey and dressing
Let's be thankful and count our blessings
In the land of the free we celebrate
Our Thanksgiving Day with love not hate
