Thanksgiving Poem by Courtney Mayer

What is Thanksgiving?

It is a day of thanks.

It is a day that you and your family get together and celebrate.

A day to remember loved ones you have lost to a terrible sickness, to murder, or to whatever cause that it may have been that they died from; and to remember that they are now in a better place, that they are in a place of rest.

It is a day to be thankful, joyful, and yourself. A day that you relies just how lucky you are to still have all of your family, and friends; that you have a place to live, food to eat, and peace at home.

It is a wonderful day, a day to be happy.

What is thanksgiving?

I can no longer answer this question, I'm no longer so sure what it may mean to you, but I do know what it means to me. Now that you know what it really means to me and most others; think about it. What does it really mean to you?

It is a day of happiness, of thankfulness, or is it a day of sadness, and of tears.
