Fill Your Heart With Thanksgiving Poet: Helen Steiner Rice Take nothing for granted, for whenever you do The "joy of enjoying" is lessened for you - For we rob our own lives much more than we know When we fail to respond or in any way show Our thanks for the blessings that daily are ours . . . The warmth of the sun, the fragrance of flowers, The beauty of twilight, the freshness of dawn, The coolness of dew on a green velvet lawn, The kind little deeds so thoughtfully done, The favors of friends and the love that someone Unselfishly gives us in a myriad of ways, Expecting no payment and no words of praise - Oh, great is our loss when we no longer find A thankful response to things of this kind, For the joy of enjoying and the fullness of living Are found in the heart that is filled with thanksgiving 
Blessings Poet: Patience Strong We're very quick to voice complaints, and grumble with a frown, If things go wrong and all our castles crash and tumble down. We air our little grievances, when we come home at night - And in that frame of mind you find that nothing turns out right... If only we would make a list - a new one every day- Of all the blessings we receive as we go on our way - We'd never reach the end of it - you'd be surprised to find, How many lovely little things would crowd into your mind.... God pours His blessings from about - but we're to blind to see - And so we are the victims of our own stupidity... We fret our little lives away - we week and doubt and grieve - If only we would lift our hands and gratefully receive - The blessings He bestows on us if we but watch and pray - And look beyond the clouds to see the glory of each day. An Old Fashioned Thanksgiving It may be I am getting old and like too much to dwell Upon the days of bygone years, the days I loved so well; But thinking of them now I wish somehow that I could know A simple old Thanksgiving Day, like those of long ago. . . . Read the entire poem An Old Fashioned Thanksgiving Thanksgiving Poet: Edgar A. Guest Gettin' together to smile an' rejoice, An' eatin' an' laughin' with folks of your choice; An' kissin' the girls an' declarin' that they Are growin more beautiful day after day; Chattin' an' braggin' a bit with the men, Buildin' the old family circle again; Livin' the wholesome an' old-fashioned cheer, Just for awhile at the end of the year. Greetings fly fast as we crowd through the door And under the old roof we gather once more Just as we did when the youngsters were small; Mother's a little bit grayer, that's all. Father's a little bit older, but still Ready to romp an' to laugh with a will. Here we are back at the table again Tellin' our stories as women an men. Bowed are our heads for a moment in prayer; Oh, but we're grateful an' glad to be there. Home from the east land an' home from the west, Home with the folks that are dearest an' best. Out of the sham of the cities afar We've come for a time to be just what we are. Here we can talk of ourselves an' be frank, Forgettin' position an' station an' rank. Give me the end of the year an' its fun When most of the plannin' an' toilin' is done; Bring all the wanderers home to the nest, Let me sit down with the ones I love best, Hear the old voices still ringin' with song, See the old faces unblemished by wrong, See the old table with all of its chairs An I'll put soul in my Thanksgivin' prayers. Thanksgiving Day Poem Through life's changing scenes and sorrows, Disappointments, hopes and fears, Sad todays but glad tomorrows Share alike the passing years; Be encouraged by a Thanksgiving Day Poem 
A Thanksgiving Prayer Poet: Blanche Lea Walden For those who bravely dared to face The wolf-fangs of the sea, To find a land where they might dwell In faith and liberty. For pioneers who blazed the trails And broke the virgin sod With strength and spirit, firm, and sure, Today, we thank thee, God! For ancestors with a vision As wide and deep and high And as filled with stars of promise As the eternal sky, For health and homes and country And laughter, sweet and gay For all of these - and love and faith We thank thee, God, today! 
Thanksgiving Song Poet: Laura Lee Randall This is the day the Lord hath made; Be glad, give thanks, rejoice; Stand in his presence, unafraid, In praise lift up your voice. All perfect gifts are from above, And all our blessings show The amplitude of God's dear love Which every heart may know. The Lord will hear before we call, And every need supply; Good things are freely given to all Who on His word rely. We come today to bring Him praise Not for such gifts alone, But for the higher, deeper ways In which His love is shown. For sin destroyed, for sorrow healed. For health and peace restored; For Life and Love by Truth revealed, We thank and bless the Lord. This is the day the Lord hath made, In praise lift up your voice. In shining robes of joy arrayed, Be glad, give thanks, rejoice.
