Poem: Thanksgiving Seal!

From my 2007 files:

THANKSGIVING IS ON NOVEMBER 22, 2007, THIS YEAR!

FOR THE OCCASION I WROTE THE FOLLOWING POEM.

It is dedicated especially to Bree Ann, my niece, who has her birthday on November 21.  And to my brother, Todd, nicknamed by my brothers as "Turd".  If we change "happy turkey day" it becomes "happy Turd's day" so...

"HAPPY TURD'S DAY - 2007!

Also, "turd" is expecting his first grandchild any day now so it is also for the new baby.

I vacillated in going to mass the other day, but luckily I went and father Javier (who I nicknamed "yave´") gave me the last two lines of the poem, and his sermon helped me decide on the title!

THANKSGIVING SEAL

I looked up and down in the good book,

To find a way to cure my soul,

And give things a better look...

"The teacher has come and is calling for you"...

(First fruits, an offering of mercy and love,

          And the great inheritance so true...)

The spirit uniting and eternal life,

The former gone like a cord,

                                      Cut by a knife.

Soon we find that by living in peace, harmony, and forgiving,

We manifest the best ever thanksgiving.

This all really starts,

When it is all written and sealed...

                                        In all our hearts!
