HappyThanksGiving 
Thanksgiving is nearly here and we’re about to feast with this family members and make new recollections. Past the historic context from the holiday, it’s a great chance to mirror concerning the many benefits we’ve within our lives and take the time to feel grateful within the last year, and prepare for the following 12 several weeks. We’ve compiled a couple of poems that may be recited (even through the children) before, during or after dinner to help remind us the significance of this vacation in a sweet, melodic way.
“Thank You For Inviting Us” by Joanna Fuchs
Appreciate inviting us
For your Thanksgiving dinner.
Each day put in your organization
Is almost always a champion.
Appreciate time you spent
Preparing all of the food
To make us feel welcome,
You’ve our gratitude!
“Pilgrim Poem” ~ Author Unknown
A long time ago the Pilgrims came.
They traveled the world on the ship – the Mayflower was its name.
They traveled the world over the Atlantic blue,
So that they could worship how they desired to.
Lots of people died on the way,
And also the first winter was hard they are saying.
The Indigenous Peoples were already here.
They helped the Pilgrims plant corn and search deer.
All of them met up to talk about food and pray,
Which explains why we celebrate Thanksgiving Day!
"Thanksgiving," Old Rhyme
The entire year has switched its circle,
The times of year appear and disappear.
The harvest all is collected in
And chilly north winds blow.
Orchards have shared their treasures,
The fields, their yellow grain,
So open wide the entrance~
Thanksgiving comes again!
“A Family Thanksgiving” by Karl Fuchs
Mother and Father and all sorts of folks
Who sit round the table,
All appreciate god above
For the truth that we’re able
To achieve the food and shelter
People need to outlive,
And also have the passion for family
Which makes it best to come alive.
“Thank you for that World so sweet” ~ Author Unknown
Thanks God for that world so sweet,
Thanks God for our meal,
Thanks God for that wild birds that sing,
Thanks God for everything! Amen
“Thanksgiving” ~ Author Unknown
The entire year has switched its circle,
The times of year appear and disappear.
The harvest is collected in
And chilly north winds blow.
Orchards have shared their treasures,
The fields, their yellow grain.
So open wide the entrance-
Thanksgiving comes again!
“Turkey” by Kaitlyn Guenther
T hank you for
U nderstanding. Appreciate

"At Grandma’s House" ~ Author Unknown
I love the flavour of poultry
Whenever all year round
However it never
appears to taste nearly as good
As when Thanksgiving’s here.
Might be it’s all regulated the trimmings
Which are cooked by using it to consume-
However I think it’s
eating at Grandma’s house
Which makes it this type of treat!
“You’ve Designed A Difference” by Joanna Fuchs
As Thanksgiving Day approaches,
Our benefits we recall
The items we’re most grateful for,
We remember all of them.
You’re really special,
In most you say and do.
You have made a positive change within our lives
We are grateful let’s focus on you.
“Turkey Limerick” by Leanne Guenther
There was previously a poultry named Chummy,
Mother believed that he may be rather tasty.
He waddled away
On Thanksgiving Day —
But nonetheless wound up within my tummy!
“Thankful” Author Unknown
No ghosts or goblins and trick-or-treats,
No chocolate or flowers for the sweets.
No gifts to purchase or presents to provide,
You need to be Grateful for that existence that you simply live.
“Five Little Turkeys” ~ Author Unknown
Five little turkeys standing around the doorway,
One waddled off, its keep were four.
Four little turkeys sitting near a tree,
One waddled off, its keep were three.
Three little turkeys without a penny to complete,
One waddled off, its keep were two.
Two little turkeys each morning sun,
One waddled off, its keep was one.
One little poultry better try to escape,
For soon it will likely be Thanksgiving Day.

Melissaalexandraa: Gratitude for Natalie & her treasured voice.
Max: If she memorized it and didn't look at her phone, it would be more powerful.
Natalie Patterson: +Max To answer the question you didn't ask: http://www.natalieispoetry.com/blog/2015/11/25/why-i-read-my-poems
Max: +Natalie Patterson Hey, thanks very much, I appreciate the amount of thought you put into that. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved your poem, I found it awesome and I can relate a lot to the things you said with my own personal outlook on life, I was just giving you some constructive criticism on how it would have worked better for me personally. I guess I prefer full eye contact presentations because my background is business and when preparing for my presentations I memorize all the things I need to say and I explain it thoroughly and enthusiastically to others to keep their attention. I'm not familiar with poetry, but I always enjoy it. Have a good day :)
ClayCrazay: I don't cry easily and the way you speak brought me to tears. You have a true gift.
Kaitie Marie: +ClayCrazay You're right. =) It just pushes my buttons when people think crying is a sign of weakness. When it is mostly the sign of a emotionally healthy person.
Cryogenic: +Kaitie Marie Actually crying is not a sign of weakness or strength. It is humanity but one who cries more than another is in fact weaker whether you take that as a good or bad thing it is fact.
