Family Thanksgiving Poems:
Song Name: Thanksgiving Feasting
By: Joanna Fuchs
When the Halloween pumpkins are gone,
And the leaves have all fallen to ground,
When the air has turned windy and cold,
Then Thanksgiving will soon be around.
Thoughts of loved ones all feasting together,
Pleasant pictures from past times appear
To dwell in each heart and each mind–
Then Thanksgiving is finally here!
The kitchen has scrumptious aromas,
The dining room looks oh, so fine,
Decorations with pilgrims and turkeys,
And now we are ready to dine!
First the napkins are placed on our laps;
Now the prayer for the meal to be blessed,
Then we stuff the good food in our tummies,
And we hope for it all to digest!
Song Name: Albuquerque Turkey
(Sung to Clementine)
By: Laurie
Albuquerque he’s my turkey
Oh he’s feathered and he’s fine
He wobbles and he gobbles
And I’m awfully glad he’s mine.
He’s the best pet
You could ever get.
Better than a dog or cat.
Albuquerque he’s my turkey
And I’m awfully glad of that.
Albuquerque he’s my turkey
He’s so cozy in his bed
Because for Thanksgiving dinner
We had scrambled eggs instead.
Song Name: American Thanksgiving
By: Roger W Hancock
Thanksgiving is the holiday,
to God we give our thanks.
Thanks for founding fathers;
gave us our right to speak.
Thanks for all the blessings;
free travel and assembly.
Thanks to God for America;
free religious liberty.
Thanks for all our families;
of friendship, blood or faith.
Thanks for food that’s plentiful;
we hunger not, nor thirst.
Then again to God our thanks,
Christ’s death washed our sin.
Song Name: Everybody is Thankful
By: Melisa
Everyone gathering around
Family coming home
Cutting the turkey
And serving the food
Then to sit around the table
Listening to everyone
Saying what they are thankful for
Spending time with the family
Is such a wonderful time
Everybody is thankful for something
Hoping that it is fun
Filling your tummy
Then watching the parade
Or maybe a football game
Soon it’s time to leave
Until Christmas comes
Song Name: Thanksgiving Is a
By: Unknown
Thanksgiving is a
Time of gratitude to God,
Our Creator and Provider,
Whose guidance and care
Go before us.
And whose love
Is with us forever.
Thanksgiving is a time
To reflect on the changes,
To remember that we, too,
Grow and change
From one season of life to another.
Thanksgiving is a time
Of changing seasons,
When leaves turn golden
In autumn’s wake
And apples are crisp
in the first chill breezes of fall.
Let us remember the true meaning
Of Thanksgiving.
As we see the beauty
Of Autumn, let us acknowledge
The many blessings
Which are ours.
Let us think of our families
And friends…
And let us give thanks in our hearts.
Song Name: We Give Thanks
By: Harry Jewell
Our Father in Heaven,
We give thanks for the pleasure
Of gathering together for this occasion.
We give thanks for this food
Prepared by loving hands.
We give thanks for life,
The freedom to enjoy it all
And all other blessings.
As we partake of this food,
We pray for health and strength
To carry on and try to live as You would have us.
This we ask in the name of Christ,
Our Heavenly Father.
Song Name: For All We Have
By: Roger J. Robicheau
A table with chairs, that welcome sight
Our family, our friends, pure delight
A caring kiss with a gentle smile
Each tender hug lasts that country mile
The presence of love so fills the air
This gift of God brings our hearts so near
Reflections of past bring nurtured thought
Great visions come by, what life has taught
In thankful ways we embrace this day
And often think of loved ones away
Those serving us proud are often gone
But their spirit remains, closely drawn
Our Nation should praise each special one
For all we have is through what they’ve done
The freedom to have Thanksgiving Day
Keeps certain plates bare, please truly pray
Short Family Thanksgiving Poem:
Song Name: A Family Thanksgiving
By: – Karl Fuchs
Mom and Dad and all the folks
Who sit around the table,
All give thanks to the Lord above
For the fact that we are able
To have the food and shelter
We all need to survive,
And have the love of family
That makes it good to be alive.
Song Name: Thanksgiving Time
By: Unknown
When all the leaves are off the boughs,
And nuts and apples gathered in,
And cornstalks waiting for the cows,
And pumpkins safe in barn and bin,
Then Mother says, “My children dear,
The fields are brown, and autumn flies;
Thanksgiving Day is very near,
And we must make thanksgiving pies!”
Song Name: Thanksgiving Prayer
By: – Susan D. Anderson
I’m thankful for my mother, and
I’m thankful for my dad.
I’m thankful for my sisters, and
For all the fun we’ve had.
I’m thankful for my brother, Tom,
(Even when he’s jerky.)
But most of all, I’m oh-so-thankful
Not to be a turkey.
Song Name: Thanksgiving
By: Old Rhyme
The year has turned its circle,
The seasons come and go.
The harvest all is gathered in
And chilly north winds blow.
Orchards have shared their treasures,
The fields, their yellow grain,
So open wide the doorway,
Thanksgiving comes again!
Song Name: First Thanksgiving
By: Aileen Fisher
Venison for stew and roasting,
Oysters in the ashes toasting,
Geese done to a turn,
Berries (dried) and wild grapes (seeded)
Mixed with dough and gently kneaded~
What a feast to earn! Indian corn in strange disguises,
Ash cakes, hoe cakes (many sizes),
Kernels roasted brown…
After months of frugal living
What a welcome first Thanksgiving
There in Plymouth town.
