A Poem About Thanksgiving

I’m Thankful

(Stanza Poems)

Synopsis

A poem about Thanksgiving you can read every year to yourself or loved ones.

I’m thankful for this food upon my dining table

Corn, greens, stuffing, and potatoes

I’m thankful for my family in the living room

Laughing, smiling, like life has no doom

I’m thankful for the fireplace rising to the skies

Popping and clapping before our very eyes

I’m thankful for the parade strolling on the street

With turkey floats flying on that drumming beat

I’m thankful for the decorations sprucing up my life

Helping the holidays strongly entice

I’m thankful for pumpkin, apple, and sweet potato pie

Singing a truth so sweet, the future has no lie

I’m thankful for the leaves who paint themselves gold

Reminding me beauty can come in the midst of the cold

Family, food, home—parades, leaves, and warmth

And don’t forget, next month, onwards to the north

And sadly, a moment like this can remind of sad times

Let us not forget the past of those who lost their lives

An origin as foul as a fowl who lost their wings

I’m thankful First Nations celebrate and pay homage to different brings

For everyone

I’m thankful for this loving and caring atmosphere

That has us all together once upon a year

After eating

We lay upon our couches or beds in a daze

To lastly dream of giggling across a windy, sunny, and vast prairie maize

All Point-Of-Views Are Welcomed
