It started from God's faithful pilgrims,
Traveled in Mayflower fair,
They arrived in winter time,
And illness was in the air.

But good old Squanto came to help,
And he taught them many things,
They searched for mussels on the beach,
And proclaimed the angel sings.

They had a merry feast of thanks,
The turkey was caught and roasted,
The mussels were shelled and boiled,
And the berries were as good as boasted.

So give thanks to our ancestors,
Many years ago,
Who battled the wind and cold,
With snowflakes and the snow.

i will never win!!!!

Thanks giving thanks giving it's the best

I AN THANKFUL for being with my family for all of them if they need my help to for anything they need

Sure its great to have all that food,
but what really puts you in a better mood.
Is having quality time with your family,
come on why don't you join me.

All we say is pass the stuffin',
and come on give me a muffin.
give me some of that gravy,
let's stop this together you and me.

We can stop this all together,
come on quickly get your brother,
and don't forget also your mother.

We can stop this together why don't see,
life is a song and we have to sing in harmony.
If we just combine and attach,
we all have weaknesses that we can all patch.

As you see we can make a change,
we can make this world rearrange.
We can make this world a better place,
and make all the wrongs just erase.

Be happy with the time with your family,
we all wish that is how it's supposed to be.
For it is sad when they have to leave,
we just have to be strong and believe.

For Thanksgiving is coming to an end,
treat everybody just like a friend.
Just remember don't abuse the time with your with relatives,
because everyone is sensitive.

We should all give all our thank,
because if we don't we'll realize that our joy just shrank.
Always be thankful for at least 1 or 2,
or else you would really be feeling blue.

I hope I win ( which will not happen). :(

I'm really happy today
For the Thanksgiving Day
Hip-Hip Hooray in every way
Coming together on one happy way
Let's make this one day
The cream dela cream...

turkey, turkey is so great, it brings up no hate, you can eat it very late

You get ready to play
The men go out to shoot the chicken they have fun to
Then men berry the turkey and put red coals on top
Everyone eats till tree bellies get full yum they say
Everyone eats then they go home
Most of all your with your family thats what matters!

Give Thanks

Where the heart is,
The home is there,
They say,
But the home is more,
Far more than that,
Tis a stronghold of comfort
And peace
A place I’m free to be me
No restriction,
Instead,
Understanding stands sole
Freely flows the help only
The home
Can offer
Smoothly falls the ease
Tis the real home,
A place to be me
Three places in life,
Everyone has
Home place,
Work place,
Fun place,
My home has all three.

Throughout the days,
People weave in,
Then out,
My life
Imagine a lonely life,
No people
That’s why I’m thankful
For them
Relationship is like a rose
Blooms gracefully,
Grows steadily,
Till nothing exceeds the fair blushes
Of the flower
Watch,
And I grow,
Sprinkled with the water of friendship
Even the passing strangers,
They teach a lesson of life
Whether their responses to others,
Or their inobservance of
The world ‘round them
But more important,
The family and friends with me
The examples they set,
One more pearl presented to me
Rely on these,
Then learn to be reliable for others,
I mature,
I stand-
Taller under their support for me

Skills,
Abilities,
Fertilizer of life
Who can live without them?
Tis a new door to open,
A new song to sing,
Finally opened gates
Opened to new opportunities
Being able to work with hands
A gift of abilities
Being able to express one self
Able to sing for joy,
And being freed from
Chains of incapability
Limitless,
Boundless,
A new meadow to roam,
Another ocean to adventure,
To conquer
Only done with skill
Maneuvering competence
A radical change in life
Refreshing river for me
Bound until the skill
Relived for me

The rocks of the earth,
Beneath us,
Always there when I awake
For granted,
It was taken
Look to the stars,
He knows them by name
Sweep my eyes over the sea,
Unknown,
Vast,
Yet mapped by Him on His hand
The mountain trembles at His voice,
The oceans shudder at his touch
See this gentle King,
Everywhere
His mark,
Fingerprint in my world,
Mark in my everyday life
Life has no meaning
Without the glory of G-d
Shining through the trees
Remember,
All those who hear,
That human are feeble,
So small,
Unworthy of the life
Given to us by the King
G-d breathed life stirs amongst man

All things will change,
Nothing stays the same,
Wear down,
Advancements,
Updates,
New trends
We change the ways we
Live
We change the ways we
See
We change the way we
Grow
Always moving,
Never stopping
A new method,
A better way to spend
Time
In mixture
Blur of colors
Where is one that moves slow enough?
How can I to see it?
Reach out,
To touch,
Then gone,
Tis no more there
Not a trace
Turn around,
See it there,
Realize how time
Flies
The world is developing
Quickly
Efficiently
Keep up,
Try hard
Collapse

I say
Try harder to catch the changes
Exhausted,
Nowhere to start,
Not a place
Even landscape changes daily
One will stay the same.
One will stand still
One will wait for me to
Follow
G-d
My father
Quicken paces
In Him
Find restoration,
Revolution
Resurrection
He will continue to stay the same
Yesterday- Today – Forever
He is there for me.
Don’t need fads of life
Need not catch the flying styles
Only
Remember,
He stays the same forever.

My freestyle
Symbolizes
Ease
I’m writing at home
Stanza two is wordy,
Words need friends
Stanza three,
Most poetic,
Symbolizing skill
Stanza four,
Most thankful,
G-d is wonderful
Stanza five
Quick paced
Short lines
To show
Quick movement
Stanza six,

Exhaustion from thinking
About the poem,
Yet glad
I expressed
My thought
And this one,
Reader
Just a note

SOrry this is sooo long!
i was carried off

When a star comes out in the deep dark night,
I always wonder what my relatives are like,
I know some of them have been an a war,
And some of them even held a sword,
Having such brave relatives is great,
I am very thankful for they're big ace.

Thanksgiving
The bare white trees all bare
The families gathering joyfully
The laughs and giggles from little ones

Thanksgiving
The people walking here and there
The turkey sitting on the table
The turkey welcoming everyone to the table

Thanksgiving
The thankfulness of what you've done
The bits and pieces of rich thankfulness sitting on plates
The plates are bare and go to sleep

Thangsgiving
The gate to winter where the snow falls
The start of a new beginning
The day where you can be thankful
