Thanks for Giving
Mayflower set sail
Leaving its trail
Upon demand
To another land
Autumn, past
Pilgrims fast
Landing wetly
Sixteen twenty
Willing, able
Friends at table
Reaching Cape Cod
Gave thanks to God
Indians hunt
Pilgrims the same
New times were blunt
Preparing game
Friends allowed
All were proud
Much to trade
History made
They all knelt down to pray
Naming Thanksgiving Day
Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
