Inspirational Poetry of Connie Arnold

Thanksgiving isn’t just about eating

Or about families happily meeting,

Not just about turkey and pumpkin pie,

Or deciding whether to drive or fly.

It’s not just about gravy and dressing

But also for thankfulness, counting each blessing.

Getting together is a special reason,

But there is much more to the Thanksgiving season.

It’s a time to give thanks with hearts full of love

For the bountiful gifts that come from above,

To offer gratitude, worship and praise

To the giver of all things and all of our days.
