A Very Happy Thanksgiving From The Mighty Magazine World…

Below are a few verses from the poem and feel free to click on the picture below to read the entire poem.
God be thanked for acred yield, and mile-wide harvest bending
Heavy for the reaping-blades, waist and shoulder-high,
Reach on reach of golden seas, shoreless, and unending,
Where the furrow-clods lay dark ‘neath an April sky.
Lord, amid our lifted prayers, let us not forget
Little, tended garden-plots in humble dooryards set.
…
Simple hearts and humble hands, toiling day by day,
Dreamer-souls that keep the faith on sordid paths unknown,
Those who sow, but seldom reap, bless them, Lord, we pray,
Send full store of golden grain for every threshing-stone.
Wishing you and yours a very happy Thanksgiving.
