“Thanksgiving Day Prayer”

Poem by Wendye Savage

As we bow our hearts in reverence

To a God that’s ours and real;

Let us just say, “ Thank you Lord”

Before we partake of this meal.

Thank you for our rising

To see yet, another sun;

Thank you for all your  blessings

And the things that you have done.

Thank you for our gathering

Having food on our table;

Thanks for being a loving God

In a way only you are able.

Continue to open up the Heavens

And pour blessings from above;

And shower down on each one of us

A portion of your strength, peace and love.
