THANKSGIVING
 

The day is fast approaching,
we gather with those,
who matter the most to us,
we are thankful for one another.

With those we love,
we visit, laugh and enjoy,
wishing each other the best,
we share our love and happiness.

Food will be the center,
of much attention this day,
even those who should watch it,
will again get carried away.

Wouldn't it be a nice gesture,
wouldn't the time be just right,
for you, one hour before dinner,
to pass high fiber cookies around?

What a gesture of live,
what a gesture of caring,
what a gesture to help those,
who matter the most to you.

Sure, you'll have more leftovers,
what a price to pay,
to help those who matter the most,
feel a bit healthier today.

Are we REALLY concerned,
about those who matter the most,
are we willing to REACH OUT,
to DO rather than wish and talk?

It is my wish in life,
that each can find and be,
the happy, fit and healthy one,
that they once were.

To help one another,
in action instead of words,
much stronger than wishing and hoping,
much stronger than words of prayer.

A chance to show you care,
a chance to MATTER in life,
a chance to be a POSITIVE force,
a chance to FEEL good about YOU.
