  Let Us Learn From That First Thanksgiving

   

  • Let us learn from that first Thanksgiving
  • The concept of acceptance.
  • For it was the Indians who graciously accepted
  • The foreigners without proper visas.
  • For they realized that acceptance was moral
  • Whether it was legal or not

  • Let us learn from that first Thanksgiving
  • The concept of tolerance.
  • For it was a holiday of mixed religions
  • Both Christian and Indian.
  • For a celebration among different people
  • Is a celebration of humanity, not theology.

   

  • Let us learn from that first Thanksgiving
  • The concept of learning from other cultures.
  • For without learning how to harvest,
  • The English non-farmers would have perished.
  • So also, if we do not learn to learn from other cultures
  • We too will perish.

   

  • Let us learn from that first Thanksgiving
  • The concept of a proper paradigm.
  • For this first harvest was a product of teamwork
  • Where both sides learned, lived, and enjoyed.
  • So too we need to live through collaboration and cooperation
  • Rather than fight through competition and control.
