A Blessed Day

many hardship days
endured these suffering pass
on the first settlers

as harvest was scarse
they relied on their neighbor
at their time of need

just as days of old
thank God in their time of need
for a blessing of

lit thanks through a hard
time as it is today, we
bless the bountiful

harvest year of days
to come given a light at
end of a journey
