THANKSGIVING FOR THE USA ~ SEVEN BALANCED QUATRAINS

 

GOD ~ WE THANK YOU TODAY ~ For the USA

And all She*s given the Whole Wide World 

Of Music & Art & Commerce & Science

Wherever the STARS & STRIPES are unfurled !

 

Discovered in 1492 ~ A Land of Beauty & Plenty

Others followed and discovered anew

All that the Country provided You ....... 

Colonized by the RICH & the POOR ones too !

 

In 17 hundred and 76 America became a NATION

And the THIRTEEN STATES expanded to FIFTY

And forty-six Presidents came & went

Mostly GOOD but some  BAD and some SHIFTY !

 

Today we celebrate THANKSGIVING DAY

For the PILGRIM FATHERS that landed .......

Had their first HARVEST ~ sixteen - twenty - one

Convince thet The GOOD LORD had planned it ~ AMEN !

 

Their language is ENGLISH ?  YES !  The UK played a part

In COLONIZATION ~ right from the start

BUT ~ Children grow up and soon flee the  NEST

So AMERICA did ~ with the Colonial rest !

 

SO ~ Let us give thanks for the USA 

Who supported UK through Two World Wars

WE rejoice with You on this THANKSGIVING DAY

Cos WE know in this World we*ve a Common Cause

 

We Pray for Joe Biden ~ PRES - I - DENT ELECT

And MALALA - His VP - who stepped up to the Plate

We Pray He*ll unite this NATION SELECT ~ 

With AN EXPERIENCED LADY ~ as His Running Mate ~ AMEN !

 

Thanks for visit comments welcome ~ Love Angela & Brian ! !

 

We have attended Thanksgiving Day Dinners in America and with American Friends in the UK  *It sounds a lot like Christmas* but the experience is completely different !  It is a replica meal of the One the Pilgrim Fathers shared with the Native Americans in 1621 to celebrate their First Harvest in the New Land ! Thanks is given to GOD for the part played by the PILGRIM FATHERS in the Colonization of America. Everyone should experience a Thanksgiving Dinner ~ especially the PUMPKIN PIE ~ AMEN !
