The Pilgrims Came
The Pilgrims came across the
sea,
And never thought of you and
me;
And yet it's very strange the
way
We think of them Thanksgiving
day.
We tell their story, old and
true
Of how they sailed across the
blue,
And found a new land to be
free
And built their homes quite
near the sea.
Every child knows well the
tale
Of how they bravely turned
the sail
And journeyed many a day and
night,
To worship God as they thought
right.

Funny Bird
A turkey is a funny bird,
Its head goes wobble, wobble,
All it knows is just one word,
"Gobble, gobble, gobble."

Turkey Warning
Tell me, Mr. Turkey,
Don't you feel afraid
When you hear us talking
'Bout the plans we've made?
Can't you hear us telling
How we're going to eat
Cranberries and stuffing
With our turkey meat?
Turkey, heed my warning:
Better fly away;
Or you will be sorry
On Thanksgiving day.

Thanksgiving
is a
time
of gratitude to God,
our
Creator and Porvidor,
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.
