Analysis of Thanksgiving Day
With the Festival of Thanksgiving it's time for life reviews,
acknowledging people and things
that our path bestrews.
With the Ceremony of Plenty it's time for saying Grace.
"Suffice is the Sufficiency"
for needs to displace.
With the American Holiday it's time for thankfulness.
The freedoms in The Bill of Rights
are factual unctuousness.
With the Reminiscence of Goodness it's time for happy days:
a Positive Declaration
is thanksgiving praise.
With the fourth Thursday of November it's Thanksgiving Day:
a celebration for blessings
in our life's ballet.
