Let Us Give Thanks (poem)

Let us give thanksOur world of so many modern conveniences
We were born to accept, and have taken for granted
Allow us to live our lives - with very little inconveniences
In our minds, a feeling of aid has been implanted
What would we do without television or telephone?
Not to mention a washer and dryer, along with running water
We were all born during such an historical milestone
With personal computers, our home - became our world headquarters
Let us give recognition, to the men and women - who persevered
The pioneers of yesterday, who gave us - what we have today
Through their hard work and tolerance, let their deeds be revered
Let us offer a moment of tribute, be gratefully given - in a highly valued way
"Pioneers of yesterday who paved the way" Guided with persistence - by way of God’s resourceful hand
For he worked along beside them, as he whispered - his plan
Prayers - from those seeking to find a better way
Were being answered,- unfolding, before us - were the wonder’s
Of a entirely newfound day
