LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

A poem for Thanksgiving

Although the true story

Might not be exactly as we heard

The story of Thanksgiving

Involves that great big bird.

It’s the time to get together

With those from far and near

To share what we are grateful for

Now and throughout the year.

We need to thank our ancestors

For showing us the way

To build the diverse nation

That we live in today.

Things aren’t always as we want them

But the freedom to complain

Makes our lives so unique

And keeps our thinking sane.

So let us reflect on what we have

And try to work as one

To protect our freedom to choose

A lifestyle comparable to none.
