This is a good 5-7-5 poem. The text is a great size. The message is clearly stated. Indeed, it is difficult to count blessings in hard times. However, if accomplished that is the sign of having true faith. Faith that better days are ahead. The visual fits well.

Your poem was well stated, Barbara. It was perfect for
Thanksgiving and every day. We all need to be more
thankful for what He has bestowed upon us and more
sharing of what we have, too. Thanks for the great reminder.
Great to see you, Jan

Happy Thanksgiving! Good to hear from you again. Gathered everything together the last few days, got the turkey brining and the wife made two pumpkin pies from the pumpkins we grew this summer.
Just us and her parents, but I like small gatherings.
Hard times for our country and a lot of people are just having chicken for Thanksgiving because turkeys are so expensive.
God Bless

Comment from Douglas Goff
This is so nice and inspirational. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as well!
It's important not to undercut the meaning this holiday. That is why it annoys me when they push Christmas early.
Nice work!

Hi Barbara, your poem is very timely and your message is spot on. So many times, people complain about what they don't have that they forget to be thankful for what they do have. Well done; well said. Simple and elegant. Happy Thanksgiving, my friend. Xo. Margaret ~ LateBloomer

You mean beyond the blessing of a holiday weekend?!
Yep, we always need reminding of this simple message. In hard times it is always difficult to remember just all the good things in our life, especially compared to many others in the world.
Thanks for the reminder.
