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

parade watching
he fingers his Purple Heart
over his feeble heart

handicapped parking
he pretends to walk
with a limp

from my book,
Rustle of bamboo leaves

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

from my book,
Haiku and Tanka Harvest

after facing
six eliminations
the San Francisco Giants won
the World Series games
against Detroit Lions

Congratulations to the San Francisco Giants who just won the baseball's World Series games tonight sweeping the Detroit Lions in four games clinging to never say die, never give up attitude.
