This poem was in one of the classrooms that I work in. This year, at least, it captures the holiday for me.
Thanksgiving
Thank you for all my hands can hold
apples red
and melons gold
yellow corn
both ripe and sweet
peas and beans
so good to eat!
Thank you for all my eyes can see
lovely sunlight
field and tree
white cloud-boats
in the sea deep sky
soaring bird
and butterfly
Thank you for all your ears can hear
birds' song echoing
far and near,
songs of the little
stream, big sea
cricket, bullfrog
duck and bee
May your holiday be filled with God's blessings!
