Happy Thanksgiving! by seattlite

Happy Thanksgiving!

This shot is from 2021. However, I love the wreathe. Hence, a repost. Below is a Thanksgiving poem written by an American poet, Ralph Waldo Emerson, in the 1800's.

"We Thank Thee"

"For flowers that bloom about our feet,
Father, we thank Thee.
For tender grass so fresh, so sweet,
Father, we thank Thee.
For the song of bird and hum of bee,
For all things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.

For blue of stream and blue of sky,
Father, we thank Thee.

For pleasant shade of branches high,
Father, we thank Thee.
For fragrant air and cooling breeze,
For beauty of the blooming trees,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.

For this new morning with its light,
Father, we thank Thee.
For rest and shelter of the night,
Father, we thank Thee
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.

Happy Thanksgiving!"
Such a pretty wreath and a lovely shot. Happy Thanksgiving, Gloria.
