Thanksgiving Day Here in AmericaThanksgiving Day here in America
is the freedom to choose: The
freedom to have turkey
or tofu
The freedom to invite guests

and friends
counting our blessings
The freedom to have a day off
with apple or pumpkin or pecan pie
or a hike on the Appalachian trail
The freedom to sleep in
or get up early
Uniting with people we tend to like
every where- each in our own way
