Thanksgiving traditions
passed down through the years,
came from our ancestors
through their blood, sweat, and tears.

A special day set aside
for family and friends,
this special meal through the years
managed to always transcend.

When I go to the store
and take things off the shelf,
I will think back to yesterday
when they had to hunt food for themselves.

When I get out my bread machine
and break bread with my family and friends.
I'm going to think back to yesterday,
all the things our ancestors had to defend.

Thanksgiving,
a symbol special and unique.
Let's keep loves spirit alive,
making Thanksgiving last week after week!

Happy Thanksgiving!
