A Thanksgiving Prayer By Father Richard Libby

A Thanksgiving Prayer
 
For falling leaves,
And brilliant eves,
And longer sleeves, 
And Autumn's gourd;
 
For air that's cold,
And colors bold,
Red, orange, gold,
Upon the sward;
 
For food to eat,
Reunions sweet,
And friends to greet,
Around the board;
 
For family dear,
Both far and near,
Good health and cheer,
We thank Thee, Lord.
