With Thanks

So much misinformation, so much hate,

so many people loud and irate.

Familial bonds get torn and broken,

by deeds done and words spoken.

Like cruel zealots at the pyre,

we lay our loved ones on the fire.

And we watch them burn,

into nothing but ash.

Ash.

But there may be a better day,

when we do not turn our friends away.

A day when we build bridges,

to span between ridges.

When we do not fight,

but delight – in our bonds.

For two people may not love the same things.

But they can always love each other.

So join me in thanks on this important day!

Be thankful for your loved ones,

and see the way.

Forward we go, hand in hand,

Divided we fall,

United we stand.
