RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS
Thanksgiving
Today we give pause
To acknowledge our blessings
We who have our basic needs fulfilled
Must thank our blessed good fortune
And acknowledge those who do not
We acknowledge the hungry
We acknowledge the poor
We acknowledge the homeless
We must open the door
For there must be a way
To fulfill all our needs
If we stop all our fighting
If we end all the greed
The bounty of earth is plentiful
There’s enough to go around
If we dedicate our gratitude
Better ways can be found
No child should be hungry
No mother without a home
Every soul should take comfort
Knowing no one is alone
