THANKSGIVING PRAYER 

Thank you
my Lord and God
for gift of life and health
remembering our lost loved ones
once more.

Heed not
our weaknesses,
teach us how to forgive
and live in harmony with all
others.

So that
once more this world
of hate will be again
a place of love and peacefulness,
Amen.

Black Friday -
a not so subtle ploy
to empty your purse

their room
fills with silence
this All Souls day
even her unrocking
rocking chair
