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 sea-deep sky,
soaring bird
and butterfly.

Thank you
for all my ears can hear ---
birds' song echoing
far and near,
songs of little
stream, big sea,
cricket, bullfrog,
duck and bee!

Hi Shady,
ReplyDeleteI love this post! You illustrated that poem well. Yes, we have much to be thankful for.
Beautiful poem.
ReplyDeletebtw: I just use the pumpkin bread recipe from my Better Homes & Gardens cookbook. I doctor it up a bit more (add more raisins and a bit more spices than they call for) I also cook a pie pumpkin and mash that for the pumpkin ~ instead of using the canned variety. I bet you can find the recipe on line??
Hopefully that helps. Have a great holiday too if I don't get back over here before...
Sometimes I have to be reminded to giving, thanks.
ReplyDeleteNice post...cute frog.
Hi Shady - what a lovely poem and some great photos to go with it!

Lovely photos Shady and you found a very nice poem too :)
ReplyDeleteThat Oriole is beautiful and so colourful, I would love to see one! I also loved the toad or frog, not sure which it is :)
What a pretty little Wren on the previous post!
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Thanks for sharing those lovely thoughts Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteLovely poem, Shady! Wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving.
