Thanksgiving
A poem
Halloween pumpkins turning into pumpkin pies,
Cranberry sauce adding colors in the kitchen,
The aroma of the roasted juicy turkey,
Is enough to say that Thanksgiving has arrived,
I am thankful to God for giving me an opportunity,
To explore with my own eyes the beauty of nature,
I am thankful for the beautiful Fall,
Which makes me dive deep into reds, oranges, and greens.
I am thankful for the beaches He created,
Where I can calm myself by listening to the crashing waves,
I am thankful for breathing the fresh air,
That refreshes me when I am tired.
I am thankful for the birds that sing, and the scampering squirrels,
The rustling leaves, and streams that run over rocks,
I am thankful to God for these incredible gifts of nature,
I mark my calendar to remember,
That Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday of November.
Happy Thanksgiving!
