Leaves being to change,
such a different color they are.
From the usual green of spring,
to the orange colors of fall.

People begin to bust around,
buying this and that.
Not remembering what this,
great holiday is about.

Thanksgiving is the time of thanks,
the giving not the take.
The time in which all friends come near,
to celebrate this year.

Smells of Pumpkin pie and so,
will fill the room with sweetness.
Potato, Squash, and cranberry juice,
and the Turkey we know so dear.

The empty tables soon are filled,
with voices and beyond.
Stomachs of hunger are soon filled,
content, no grumble at all.

So when this time comes near,
remember some key points.
To give, not take,
pray for thanks.
On Thanksgiving Day, that''s all.

A Dog's Thanksgiving

I love the smell of turkey roasting,
Football games that cause such boasting,
Friends arrive and I say "hi",
In my canine way sniffing every thigh!

They sit and the table and I'm on the floor,
They serve the roast turkey, a meal I adore,
I try not to beg but it's really hard,
Then a dish comes right to me
Dad say's "That's for you, pard",

After we eat we all cuddle together,
We give thanks for our friends and I wonder whether,
Someday all dogs might be lucky like me
To have a good home and a great family!!

What I'm Thankful for on Thanksgiving

For Dad who'll throw the ball to me, and throw and throw and throw
For Mom who takes such good care of me, body and soul
For our house that offers me so many cozy nests to snooze
For our backyard which beckons critters for me to pursue
For our country where even a dog has his day
For all my toys with which I dearly love to play
For all the walks in the country I get to take
And for Dogster for all the friends I get to make!

What I Am Thankful For
by Seana

I can’t have any pumpkin pie
And turkey’s not for me
I can’t eat any stuffing
For I have nasty IBD.

But I am thankful for a lot
My Mommy is the best
She took such good care of me
To that I will attest.

My Mommy gave me fluids
And she gave me icky meds
But it was all to make me well
And heal my sore insides.

Then my Mommy gave me something
I couldn’t comprehend
A naughty baby brother
A kit, to be my friend.

I’m thankful for my Mommy
And my silly brother Pat
I love them both with all my heart
Though I’m just a Siamese cat

A Cat Looks at Thanksgiving

What is there for me to be thankful for?
Well, whenever I finish chowing down
Somehow there is always more.

There is a solid roof over my head
I'm nice and safe and warm
I have a very comfy bed
And I am safe from harm.

I get to play when and with what I want
I can take all-day naps
My dad will always play with me
And I sneak table scraps.

I was once lost and scared in a hurricane
And I was very fearful
Now I have this nice clean house
And I give my human an earful.

I am just a little guy
This is my very first year
After all that's happened to me
I am thankful to be here.

But as lucky as I am,
I too do have a prayer
I want all the babies lost like me
To have some love and care.

You know, i come from far away,
But i can see you guys.
I sit very close to the great bay,
And i see you under your skies.

Blue color of the ocean
Mixed with dizzy smoke
That's surrounding a great commotion,
All of that is making a holy cloak.

And yes! Being so far away
Like i'm looking in to the past,
I see in front of me: the first Thanksgiving day.
And two different men holding a mast.

They sail to me, with the same heart.
With a message from the great land
That says: this is the start.
They offered each other a hand.

Their hands touched - two worlds became one.
Feathers flew up, guns went down.
The birds sang, it was done!
Two worlds became one.

And while the veil of night
Slowly falls down onto me.
I hope that there will be no fight,
That we're all be one like the sea.
Just like on the Thanksgiving day.
Just like They.
Yes. I pray.

Oh, boy.. that's it..

PS i made some spelling mistakes so i had to edit.. wink
