Give Thanks

Give Thanks

A Poem by MandaBear
"

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

"
Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for what you have.
It's a time to reminisce old memories.
Thanksgiving is a time of family and friends.
Begs the question, What are you thankful for?

I am thankful for family and my friends.
I am thankful for God being in my everyday.
I am thankful for the opportunities I have.
I am thankful for Turkey. (Otherwise what would you eat)

What does "Giving Thanks" really mean?
You can be thankful for anything and everything.
What are you giving thanks to?
Yourself? Your family? Your Turkey?

Thanksgiving is a time where family and grace comes together.
Giving thanks to God for what we have and who we have.
Good food and stuffed tummies are widely around.
Pumpkin pies and fruit cake can be found.

What are you thankful for?
I wish you happiness and many more.
I hope you get your fill of turkey
I am thankful for you dont you forget.

If you feel you have no one thankful for you
Just remember I am thankful for you
No matter where you come from
No matter who you are I am thankful that you are who you are. 

This year is a time like years before 
To be thankful evermore. 

Happy Thanksgiving to all and to all a goodnight.

I like the postive message that this gives you. It's sweet and innocent, but it also makes you remember what the real meaning of thanksgiving is and what you should really be thankful for.

"Thanksgiving is a where family and grace comes together."
I believe that comes should be come. Also, I think you meant to either put "Thanksgiving is a time where family and grace come together." Or "Thanksgiving is where family and grace come together." Either way, I think something needs to be changed about that part..

"Good food and stuff tummies are widely around."
"stuff" should be stuffed.

Anyways, I really enjoyed this poem. Just those two little critiques. You did a beautiful job with this(:

It put a smile on my face, that's for sure! It's light, airy, innocent, and cute, while also being also reminding everyone of all the great things to be grateful of.

This was really cute!
I get really annoyed when people skip Thanksgiving as a holiday and go right to getting ready for Christmas. There's so much to be thankful for, and sometimes it takes someone like you to remind us to do that.

We need to give thanks for what we have. If we can. Help other folks who are in need. Thank you for the positive poem.

I loved this piece :) Very well written and perfect for the upcoming holiday season.

"Good food and stuff tummies are widely around." You need an 'ed' at the end of the word stuff.
"Thanksgiving is a where family and grace comes together." You don't need an 's' after come and you don't need the 'a' in there either.
Other than those two easy fixes, I didn't see anything wrong with spelling or grammar. Nice write and thank you for sharing it!
