Thanksgiving Poems:

The Year

The year has turned its circle,
The seasons come and go.

The harvest all is gathered in
And chilly north winds blow.
Orchards have shared their treasures,
The fields, their yellow grain,
So open wide the doorway,
Thanksgiving comes again.

Thanks

He who thanks but with the lips
Thanks but in part;
The full,
the true Thanksgiving
Comes from the heart.
J.A. Shedd

The First Thanksgiving

So once in every year we throng
Upon a day apart,
To praise the
Lord with feast and song
In thankfulness of heart.
Arthur
Guiterman.
