The Almighty God is thanked,
People were thanking, have thanked and will thank,
Via being good for others and frank,
Yes, it is good to thank God,
For what He did, has done, will do, all good,
Every culture, tradition or norm,
Attracts gratitude, to the squares, to the room,
For thanking the creator,
God/Allah or the eternal being,
The Almighty,
Who allows those believe in it,
To have a happy transit,
From year to year,
From century to century,
Particularly from dark to bright,
From left to right,
To be gracious, to be cheery,
When we take Ethiopia, nations,
From Oromo,
Using rivers namely,
Abbay, Baro, Awash, Omo,
Soaking green grass into the water,
And sprinkle it outer,
To give thank to the creator,
Who transfers people from dark to light,
From ominous to bright,
Yes, thanksgiving is decisive,
With no grudge against fellow ones,
Devoid of deceive,
All have really to thank God,
To pave the apt undying road,
People have to be good to others,
Not only for paternal tie maternal affinity,
For every human race on earth,
Bedecked with amity not dearth,
As to what is gained from the Creator,
Who always does things for the better,
True, thanksgiving is sacred,
Everyone should walk the talk
Love others, respect, and give what they deserve,
To make for their life the best reserve,
Yes, charity begins at home and pays off,
Make people happy instead of making them oaf,
The muddy weather, heavy and difficult,
Has already elapsed,
And the bright spring has taken over, substituted,
For giving a mesmerizing scene, rest and joyous,
God thanks!
Though a cultural cavity,
A thanks giving festivity! Irreecha!
