Thanksgiving Poem

 

Half serving of everything

With respect for each taste

Eaten twice as slow

Nothing goes to waist

 

Food is God

With attention each bite

I take in his goodness

And reverence will ignite

 

Twenty minutes to pass

Before refilling my plate

I will just say “no”

To Holiday weight

 

So I sit in gratitude

On this gluttonous night

Health is what’s central

To last all my life

 

I’ll enjoying the meal

But know this godsend

The true source of joy

Are my family and friends
