The Thought Of Giving Thanks. Poem by The Original Tom Maxwell

The thought of giving thanks, and praise, in our modern world,
is fading away, today we think people are satisfied,
unless we hear them complaining, to everyone for day's.

Thanksgiving today is known as a day off work, to party with friends,
and play, or sitting at a relatives,
acting, as if your enjoying yourself, waiting for the moment, to get away.

The first Thanksgiving, the pilgrims invited native Americans,
To thank God for their crops, on harvest day,
now we just expect, a big meal, and many times, throw some of it away.

Most of us don't think, living our lives by habits, everyday,
knowing our electricity, has been out for hours, we will walk,
into a room, and turn on the light switch anyway.

Our country has advanced so much, life is easy compared,
to early day's, so many don't appreciate anything,
until they have it taken way.

The thought of giving thanks, should be in our life, everyday,
we should be thankful, even for the little, things, we take,
for granted, in so many ways.
