“My home is not so great;
But open heart I keep.
The sorrows come to me,
That they may sleep.
“The little bread I have
I share, and gladly pray
Tomorrow may give more
To give away.
“Yes, in the dark sometimes
The childish fear will haunt:
How long, how long, before
I die of want?
“But all the bread I have
I share, and ever say,
Tomorrow shall bring more
To give away.”
The annual Thanksgiving Day in America has grown to be a national festival. It is a day of rejoicing. It summons all the people to gratitude. It is fitting that a people who have received untold blessings should set apart one day on which all should recall their mercies, think of God as the Giver of all and express their grateful feelings in words of praise.
