Thanksgiving
by Ivy O. Eastwick
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!

Thanksgiving
By: G B
Thank you
For all my hands can hold
Like a piece of gold and a book, my dog, a microphone
Thank you
For all my eyes can see
Like my dog so cute as can be and watching the wii
To see art work and to see colors.
Thank you
For all my ears can hear
Listening to music, to birds singing and listening to the end of the day bell ring

Thank you
For my hands can hold
I love to cuddle with my gramma’s kitten
Strength for griping gymnastics bars
Greasy butter on my popcorn.
Thank you
For all my eyes can see
Big sand castles next to the sea
Colors of the rainbow
Seeing kids playing outside.
Thank you
For all my ears can hear
Pop corn popping
Dog barking
And music playing.

Thank you
For all my hands can hold
My kitten when I am cold
My dad’s warm hand
My stuffed dog, Snow
Thank you,
For all my eyes can see
Squirrels scurrying to build their nest
The beautiful changing colors in the trees
Pumpkin pie baking in the oven
Thank you
For all my ears can hear
The wind blowing in my ear
The sound of a motor running
The leaves whispering in the trees

Thank you
For all my hands can hold
Like holding little ducks in the cold
Yummy sushi
Warm naan
Swimming in a great pond
Thank you
For all my eyes can see
Like little girls in a tree
Pretty flowers
Story tales
Happy faces
Little snails
My dog Chester wagging his tail
Thank you
For all my ears can hear
Like laughing when I’m in fear
The waves rolling in from the tide
Loud places where I can hide
Talking laughing
And the gentle wings of a butterfly

Thank you
For all my hands can hold
Fluffy kind animals,
A cup of pure cold water,
Fresh fruit nice and ripe
Thank you
For all my eyes can see
Bright sun yellow and hot,
Leaves green and colorful,
Fields grassy and green
Thank you
For all my ears can hear
The song of a duck,
The rustle of the grass,
The croak of a big frog

My tennis ball
Lego’s ship
Sticks from the trees

For all my eyes can see
My TV
My big backyard
My dad

My little brother
A computer
Crickets in my basement

Thanksgiving
By: GK
Thank you
For all my hands can hold,
Books that give me the definition of bold.
I hold love in my heart
I will never let it part.
Wrapping my arms around my mom
Next comes my dad holding out his palm.
Thank you
For all my eyes can see,
Waves on the beach that call to me.
Family and friends, they show me love
There words come out as sweet as a dove.
Horses running and grazing
Makes me really see them blazing.
Thank you
For all my ears can hear
Everything as sweet as Apollos lyre.
Wave’s crash
I just want to run in and make a splash!
Laughs from people who I know
Smiles coming to and fro.

Thank you
For all my hands can hold
Like taking the turkey to the table
Yum, yum
It is done
Stuffing, mashed potatoes, and bread
Thank you
For all my eyes can see
People wearing big, small, any size
Winter jackets flying by leaves falling
Thank you
For all my ears can hear
Children playing in the leaves
The buzzer going off for our feast
My dog barking at the smell

Thank you
For all my hands can hold
Now I can go out in the cold
The turkey pan comes out to be sold
Holding apples in my hand
Now it makes me want some ham
Thank you
For all my eyes can see
Now I can see a bee
Seeing Van Go art
Now I want Polaco’s art
Seeing toes in the snow
Then I want to go
Thank you
For all my ears can hear
Now I hear seagulls on the beach
Hearing potato chips break in to pieces
My cousin said now hear waves crashing
That’s all I want thank you that’s good

Thank you
For all my hands can hold
Like French fries and gold
And play with my pet
And not being upset
Thank you
For all my eyes can see
Like me and fashion trend
And playing with my friends
Thank you
For all my ears can hear
Like listening to birds on the pier
Like my friends without tears
and hearing and hearing fears in movie

Waves in the ocean
Sand on the beach.

Music on my iPod
The air in my air hockey table
And the waves crashing on the shore.

Thank you
For all my hands can hold
Warm hot cocoa in the cold
The warm, moist cookies to bake
So many enough to make
Thank you
For all my eyes can see
Beautiful flowers buzzing with bees
With colorful, autumn trees
So many pretty plants to see
Thank you
For all my ears can hear
The crashing waves coming near
The sound silence so we can read
Quiet as a tiny falling bead
