Thanksgiving in the year 2020

This year, I am thankful for
 The opportunity
 To stay home and isolate
 For my community

 This year, I am thankful for
 My stylish set of masks
 That lets me visit family
 And accomplish other tasks

 This year, I am thankful for
 Computers and the web
 For keeping us connected
 As we wait for this to ebb

 This year, I am thankful for 
 Remaining quite healthy
 When other folks have loved ones
 They'll never get to see

This year, I am thankful for
 Turkey and pumpkin pie
 Reminding me of better years
 Before things went awry

 This year, I am thankful that
 Traditions can evolve
 To help a world in crises
 Remember their resolve
