Thanksgiving Poem by nimal dunuhinga

Thanksgiving

Rating: 5.0


It's a holiday
People sit down together
Give thanks and blessings
Each other,
They talk about joy and grief of bygone days.
Though it's a holiday for us,
Some brothers and sisters
Stuck in the battlefields
And when they get their vacation?
Some disappeared on 9/11
Without saying a Goodbye.
May happy and peaceful flowers bloom on this land of opportunity!
And they can sniff the fragrance of humanity
On this precious day.

Happy 'Thanks Giving' Nimal! A tribute to all those still in the line of battle and those we miss so much since 9/11 blew them out of our reach. I love your third to last line. My feelings exactly Smiling at you Tai
