Thanksgiving Day

Been awhile since I stopped to write verse. Today, a day known for reflection, has stirred the following from my heart. May it touch yours. -j.p.

Tidings glad
In midst of sorrows
Comfort given
When all seems lost

 

Looking forward
Glancing backwards
Bending knee
Before the cross

 

Seeking mercy
Deserving nothing
Arms outstretched
Towards One who's true

 

Giving thanks
Deep in hardship
A cry for grace
It comes from You

 

Joy unspoken
Shouts of praise
Tears of cleansing
Purpose to pray

 

Peace in remembrance
Hope for the future
A life in renewal
Each Thanksgiving Day
