Thanksgiving

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.
