Thanksgiving Poems and Stories

SONG OF THE PILGRIMS

By NancySue Krenrich

Across the rolling, wind-swept sea

For months we've sailed along,

I see a land that's new to me

Against the blue horizon.

Oh, beautiful land of freedom born,

I've come across the sea

To reap your fruits and build my home,

And make my people free.

ALL IN A WORD

By Aileen Fisher

T for time to be together, turkey, talk, and tangy weather.

H for harvest stored away, home, and hearth, and holiday.

A for autumn's frosty art, and abundance in the heart. N for neighbors, and November, nice things, new things to remember.

K for kitchen, kettles' croon, kith and kin expected soon.

S for sizzles, sights, and sounds, and something special that abounds.

That spells THANKS---for joy in living and a jolly good Thanksgiving.
