Twas The Night Of Thanksgiving

.

Twas the night of Thanksgiving,

But I just couldn't sleep.

I tried counting backwards,

I tried counting sheep.

The leftovers beckoned

The dark meat and white,

But I fought the temptation

With all of my might.

.

Tossing and turning

With anticipation,

The thought of a snack

Became infatuation.

So I raced to the kitchen,

Flung open the door,

And gazed in the fridge

Full of goodies galore.

.

I gobbled up turkey

And buttered potatoes,

Pickles and carrots,

Beans and tomatoes.

I felt myself swelling

So plump and so round,

Till all of a sudden,

I rose off the ground!

.

I crashed through the ceiling,

Floating into the sky

With a mouthful of pudding

And a handful of pie.

But I managed to yell

As I soared past the trees...

"HAPPY EATING TO ALL! PASS THE CRANBERRIES PLEASE!"

.Drinking From My Saucer

.

I've never made a fortune

and it's probably too late now,

But I don't worry about that much,

I'm happy anyhow.

And as I go along life's way,

I'm reaping better than I sow,

I'm drinking from my saucer

'Cause my cup has overflowed.

.

Haven't got a lot of riches

and sometimes the going's tough,

But I've got loving ones around me

and that makes me rich enough.

I thank God for his blessings

and the mercies He's bestowed,

I'm drinking from my saucer

'Cause my cup has overflowed.

.

O, Remember times when things went wrong;

My faith wore somewhat thin.

But all at once the dark clouds broke

and sun peeped through again.

So Lord, help me not to gripe

about the tough rows that I've hoed,

I'm drinking from my saucer

'Cause my cup has overflowed.

.

If God gives me strength and courage

When the way grows steep and rough,

I'll not ask for other blessings,

I'm already blessed enough.

And may I never be too busy

to help others bear their loads,

Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer

'Cause my cup has overflowed.

The Pilgrims Came

The Pilgrims came across the sea,

And never thought of you and me;

And yet it's very strange the way

We think of them Thanksgiving day.

.

We tell their story, old and true

Of how they sailed across the blue,

And found a new land to be free

And built their homes quite near the sea.

.

Every child knows well the tale

Of how they bravely turned the sail

And journeyed many a day and night,

To worship God as they thought right.

Turkey Warning

Tell me, Mr. Turkey,

Don't you feel afraid

When you hear us talking

'Bout the plans we've made?

.

Can't you hear us telling

How we're going to eat

Cranberries and stuffing

With our turkey meat?

.

Turkey, heed my warning:

Better fly away;

Or you will be sorry

On Thanksgiving day.

Prayer for Serenity

God grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change,

courage to change the things I can,

and the wisdom to know the difference.

.

Living one day at a time, accepting

hardship as a pathway to peace,

taking as Jesus did, this sinful world

as it is, not as I would have it.

.

Trusting that You will make all things

right if I surrender to Your will;

so that I may be reasonably happy

in this life, and supremely happy

with You forever in the next.
