Thanksgiving Is—

By Louise Johnston

T ime to think and time to pray.

H appiness with friends each day.

A pples ripe and rosy red.

N ighttime in my cozy bed.

K ittens purring soft and low.

S ilver moon and stars that glow.

G ardens, flowers, painted white.

I ce and snow and frosty night.

V ees that form when geese fly high

I n the clear blue autumn sky.

N eighbors’ visits, joy, and sharing.

G od, whose love is warm and caring.
