Thanksgiving Song

For love on the hearth in the evening
For rain on the windows at night
For joy in the neighborhood’s houses
For laughter that comes after fright

For frost on the vault of the morning
For wind like the blade of a knife
For firs that hang over and shelter
For all of the best things in life—

give thanks to the long-honored dead
give thanks to the deeply-loved living
give thanks to the God of your people
as the season winds down to Thanksgiving!
