30 Days of Thanksgiving: Day Twenty, Something to Be Thankful For

We get to eat our first "Thanksgiving meal" tonight. Our small group decided to have turkey tonight. I'll share photos tomorrow. This post is going to be a little catch up on all the things we need to be thankful for... in poetic form. Enjoy & have a great weekend!

We Thank Thee

by Ralph Waldo Emerson

For flowers that bloom about our feet;

For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet;

For song of bird, and hum of bee;

For all things fair we hear or see,

Father in heaven, we thank Thee!

For blue of stream and blue of sky;

For pleasant shade of branches high;

For fragrant air and cooling breeze;

For beatufy of the blooming trees,

Father in heaven, we thank Thee!

Something to Be Thankful For

by Clara J. Denton

I'm glad that I am not today

A chicken or a goose,

Or any other sort of bird

That is of any use.

I'd rather be a little girl,

Although 'tis very true,

The things I do not like at all,

I'm often made to do.

I'd rather eat some turkey than

To be one, thick and fat,

And so, with all my heart, today,

I'll thankful be for that.
