THANKSGIVING

Why do we have Thanksgiving;? I hear somebody say: And why should we be thankful On this Thanksgiving day? Why, don’t you know, dear children, This day was set apart For all to be happy and thankful With all their heart. To thank the Lord for kindness And gift of golden grain And we thank Him too for health, As we pass our plate again. We than him too for peace, And plentious is our store, And Wilson is our PresidentWhy could we ask for more.
