THANKSGIVING DAY

In the USA, Thanksgiving day is on the 4th Thursday in November.
This is the poem Kayla has recited us in class:



THANKS FOR ALL THINGS

Thanks for the fire,
That keeps me warm.
Thanks for my family,
Keep them from harm.

Thanks for the corn,
Cobs stacked in a heap,
Thanks for the squash,
And the crops that we reap.

Thanks for the grains,
They’ll feed us till spring.
Thanks for the cows,
And the milk that they bring.

Thanks for the stars,
And the sun and the moon.
Thanks for the snow,
That’s coming here soon.

Thanks for the rivers,
The lakes and the seas.
Thanks for the mountains.
Covered in trees.

Thanks for all life.
And last, but not least,
Thanks for the turkey
We’ll have at our feast.
