A Thanksgiving Poem

I give thanks for the blessings God brings
Children awaiting their Christmas surprises
Jaded Christy is resting; awaiting a kidney

Families debate and decide where to spend their earnings;
Mohammad contemplates; while on probation;
Who he will meet and see (‘mom, don’t come, please)

I give thanks for the blessings God brings
Teens cracking their heads; movies to see and what colour to drink
Minnie, who has Microcephaly, enjoying her mountain spring

Marshmallows and raisins, blue and green
Chicken wings and charcoal
Not from NTUC please
Ribbons and ties
Hallmark
Only
Mary and John
ASD,
Joseph and Farid;
Shaking off
Their epilepsy
Grace, acting funny
But
Sitting on
A Chair,
Finally.
