IT'S HARVEST THANKSGIVING -

LET'S SHOW GOD WE CARE

 

(Dactylic Metre)

By Josie Whitehead

Ripe juicy melons, a bottle of wine;
Two golden pumpkins and grapes on the vine.
     Large loaves of bread and a packet of tea –
     No, these were from others, and not brought by me.

Punnets of apples, a dish full of plums;
Large pumpkin pies that were made by my Mum.
    Little bread rolls and some strawberry jam,
    Tins of baked beans - also two tins of spam.

 

Flowers which we see and the fruit which we eat –

Cakes made by bakers, so creamy and sweet.

     Let’s give God thanks for the world that we share

     And remembering this, let us show God we care.
