Giving Thanks
by Carl Josehart
the right of way
cannot be
taken
only given
my driving instructor was
want to say
the same with thanks
it seems
gratitude
like the right of way
cannot be taken
only given
thanks
like driving
involves yielding
stopping
detouring
traveling roads that
dead end
to others
to fate
thanks
like prayer
cannot wait
until you are in the mood
you have to do it
to get in the mood
it lifts you
even when you don’t know you’ve
fallen
it is like love
thanks, I mean
it’s what you give
when all you have to give
is not enough
and grows the fastest
when freely given away
You might also appreciate Thanksgiving
My favorite, so far.
