So, there’s this day of thanks
of Giving love, not taking it
not exchanging it, but giving of
precious thankfulness
And with thankfulness, which is hard to give
this Thanksgiving, we’ll be visiting home
So, at this time of year
we celebrate, with gratefulness
God, for saving us, our currency’s
precious thankfulness
And with thankfulness, which is ours to give
this Thanksgiving, we’ll be visiting home
So, we can go back home
the place where things will last
the place that has some past
but mostly the present
And an endless future
More than knick-knacks and trivialities
but big things
It’s perfect: we’re first, not last
not second, or third, important
So, it’s a time for thanks
for Giving thanks, with gracefulness
From the bank we take our currency:
precious thankfulness
And with thankfulness, which is ours to give
this Thanksgiving, we’ll be visiting home
And when we go back home
our friend of long ago
accepted and made whole
we rest our weary souls
Happy Thanksgiving!
