Thanksgiving
makes me wonder about all mankind
who has what
who has naught
the big bad good world
we know and watch, daily

Thanksgiving
gives me pause
to reflect on my work
my patients, women of all ages
who count on me for care and support

Thanksgiving
makes me proud that I can be
part of a poetry group
a writing class art in-and-of itself
and what I have learned there
is worth a thousand words

Thanksgiving is tomorrow
and today
and any and all days that
you want it to be...

With thanks,
Winnie Lee
