Thankful on Thanksgiving
A few days more 'til thanksgiving day,
Turkey's a-cooking, the grandma way.
"Just can't wait" Uncle Earl would say,
Who'll drive all the way from Illinois.
Again the family will be complete,
With the new baby girl on her crib.
Can't wait for this sight and what joy it brings,
To see everyone on this faithful day.
So why am I thankful on thanksgiving day?
'Coz you'll always get to see people that cares.
But not just this day, I'm very sure,
But the days to come, and forevermore.

Poetry: What I'm thankful for
I need no life-changing fortune
To be grateful for what I have
No need to pursue happiness
When for my simple life I am
For wind and rain and green growing things,
Let us be thankful.
For gladdening sun and bright blue sky,
Let us be thankful.
by Ila Ann
Be thankful
For every day
For every person
In their own special way
Be thankful for blue skies
For warm sunlight
by Terrence Aym
The sun has risen once again.
The touch of your soft, warm hand,
The blossoming garden outside our door,
What I'm thankful
My humble thanks I give to Thee
For a life of relative peace and harmony
While some starve and suffer horrors untold
I feast
