Thanksgiving Today
By Vera Sidhwa
We give thanksgiving today
And understand its meaning
A happy celebration
Of historic times
Honored by prayer
And great pumpkin pies
Yes and horns of plenty
Yes what a wonderful holiday
Oh my, what a time in the kitchen
The smell of that turkey
Mm mm, we ate everything at the table
Our moms didn’t have to tell us what to do
The pilgrims and native people
Ate turkey too and the pumpkin pie
So delicious!
It’s Thanksgiving time once again.
We all rejoice together!
We will eat together
And know the meaning of this holiday
And spread the word to everyone!
So everyone say your prayers
And eat together and rejoice
For Thanksgiving
Is here!
