Thanksgiving is a time when thanks are felt
To give is to acknowledge we’ve been blessed
Regardless of the hand that we’ve been dealt
The fortunes leave the future unexpressed
The past provided now with all we feel
Be thankful for tomorrow when it comes
The now is god, but doesn’t make us kneel
The now to which all thankfulness succumbs
I’m thankful I’m alive; I nearly died
But that was many yesterdays ago
I still have now-ness instantly inside
Tomorrow never happens, this I know
I know that life can change and does at times
The way that final couplets end in words.
