Happy Thanksgiving :
Thankful for family and friends alike
And for all the ball players that put on the spikes
Thankful for life, the miracle of being
And all the ball games that will be seeing
Thankful for health, the gift of independence
And for those who play with passion that’s relentless
Thankful for voice, a chance to write
And for baseball on hot summer nights
Thankful for good fortune, opportunities given
And for the daily views to observe baseball living
Thankful for it all, heartfelt and respected
And for baseball passion, to never be neglected
Thankful for you, sincere best wishes
Hope your day is blessed with Thanksgiving dishes!
Happy Thanksgiving I say to all
As always, Happy Day, Happy Baseball ⚾️
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Give without remembering and receive without forgetting.
