As we have fun a particular vacation this weekend, take a second to get pleasure from a portion of the poem “Thanksgiving” by Ella Wheeler Wilcox:
We must make the moments notes
Of glad, glad Thanksgiving;
The hours and days a silent phrase
Of music, we live.
And so the theme ought to swell and develop
As weeks and months move o’er us,
And rise chic at this good time,
A grand Thanksgiving refrain.
Keep good and keep protected, everybody!
