A SLIGHTLY OBSCURE THANKSGIVING POEM [F, 11-27-25]

CHRIST IN WINTER: Reflections on Faith & Life for the Years of Winter—A SLIGHTLY OBSCURE THANKSGIVING POEM [F, 11-27-25]

 


On this day of requisitioned Thanks

I am glad my life

is drawing to a close

 

Don’t get me wrong; I love

memories and puppies

and trees that weather

storms

 

But we can give thanks

in prose and prayer

only a finite number

before the infinite appears

to beckon with new

 

memories and puppies and trees

to weather storms

 

John Robert McFarland
