Thankful Hearts: A Thanksgiving Poem for Kids

As we gather 'round our table,
With our loved ones by our side,
We pause to give our thanks aloud,
For the blessings in our lives.

We're thankful for our families,
For the times we laugh and play,
For homes to keep us safe and warm,
And for love that's here to stay.

We're grateful for the food we eat,
For each and every bite,
For farmers who work hard each day,
To grow it just right.

We're thankful for the changing seasons,
For the colors and the trees,
For the beauty all around us,
That brings us to our knees.

We're grateful for our friends so dear,
Who lift us up when we are low,
For the kindness that they show us,
And the love that they bestow.

We're thankful for our teachers,
For the lessons that they teach,
For the knowledge that they give us,
And the goals that they help us reach.

We're grateful for the soldiers,
Who protect our land so free,
For the sacrifice they make each day,
So that we can live in peace.

We're thankful for the memories made,
For the times we won't forget,
For the laughter, joy, and happiness,
And the love that we've been sent.

So let us bow our heads in prayer,
And give our thanks up high,
For all the blessings in our lives,
And the love that will never die.

For thankful hearts, we gather here,
To celebrate this day,
And to give our thanks to Thee above,
For all that You have made.
