t’s just another day really, nothing entirely special
The sun breaks in the morning; it departs at night
Yet the materialistic world offers another view
Says there’s only one perfect expression of a flame alight

Their tagline for this mundane day
Speaks to our wallets, to our credit cards
Begging and demanding that we open them up
And be sliced and diced to fit their corrupted hearts

But some of us do know better
Those of us with a true love within us
We spurn and turn down these falsities
Choosing to display our affection for those we trust

Our trust in those we love and cherish
Our trust in those who we can always depend on
A day of thanks need not come on a single solitary day
A symbol of thanks need not quickly come and be gone

Call this a rejection of stupid traditions
Call this a renunciation of moral customs
There’s nothing that sets this day apart from another
Except the sight of wasteful spending that I cannot fathom

To those who are, to those who be
Always and forever, steadfastly by my side
You deserve much more than what the world can give
Our reward comes in supporting each other on this wild ride.
