THANKSGIVING Contest Winner 
Grateful am I for the land of the free
Where I can worship my deity;
Indebted to servants sworn to save
Innocent, endangered, and not-so-brave.

Blessed with a soulmate I'm overjoyed!
For healthy children and staying employed;
For able body and mental play,
For Tolkien, Mozart, and Claude Monet.

For current events that power my home,
For indoor relief on the porcelain throne,
Hot showers, technology, soothing Earl Grey,
And the uncertain gift of one more day.
