Listen as I speak this poem or read the text below. I hope my words bring you some comfort today and always. Hugs and Blessings. Susie ![]() Comfort for Thanks Giving Day by Susie E. Caron © 11/21/15 It’s the week of Thanks Giving And everyone knows We’re supposed to be grateful And let it all show But what if there’s something That tore you apart It’s hard to give thanks With a broken heart. Who do you tell? Where do you go? How do you manage To put on a show Losses surround us And the everyday things Make people move onward Small comfort they bring Who do you tell? Who sees and who knows You’re trying to manage And let it all go Where can you travel To hug and to cry There are fewer who notice As time passes by How do you manage To put on a show On a day called Thanks Giving When they really don’t know All the pain that you carry And you wish for a while You could lay it aside And wear your true smile It’s time for Thanks Giving Friends and family all know You’ll play your part To let gratitude show. But what will it cost you? How much will you spend? You feel really lonely And need to pretend That you’re really okay now And getting along But you wish to sit by yourself And sing your sad song How long will this take Hours, days, week or years For healing and comfort To dry up your tears I don’t know. It’s different for everyone Grief’s hard to do Be good to yourself Take time out for you To feel all your feelings Each and every one Call to them and name them Until your grief is done I pray you’ll be comforted This Thanks Giving Day I hope someone will hug you And hear what you say. Someday you’ll feel better When the past’s far behind But remember how you felt when Your life was unkind And notice someone’s hurting Reach out to them and pray That they will feel you comfort them On Their Thanks Giving Day.

These are from my former life with many current memories and helps for parents. I retired from teaching, became a psychotherapist treating children and families and an author. After retiring I became a full time artist. I recently reopened this parenting blog because I believe wisdom is to be shared. Author of Chidren's Books, Christian, Wife, & Mother, I want to help you build parent-child relationships, 1 blog, & books at a time. When I'm not busy creating articles or paintings, you might find me looking for dark chocolate or playing with my Boxer, Josie. Disclaimer

Blog Reviews & Thank You!
Sheila Michelle July 13 at 7:17pm · Just wanted to say that I love your posts about the different ways to connect/relate/understand your child. It has given me a new approach towards understanding my daughter and allowing HER to tell me how she feels instead of me suggesting to her how she should feel. Thanks Susie! |
