Best Give Thanks Poems
For the breath I took when I opened my eyes, to start this new Today
For the smile in my heart from knowing Your angels protect me along the way
I am able to stand up, to walk and run; to lift up my arms toward the sky
In this blessing of movement bestowed upon me, there is nothing that I cannot try
I thank You that I can experience life; to laugh, and hug, and dance
To share Your love with humanity - I am willing to take the chance
I praise You for those that share in my life, whose love and support I have found
And the helping hands that hold me up - when trying times get me down
Though the love of my life has passed away to join You in Heaven's Rest
I give thanks to You for the years we shared, for we gave each other our best
There are those who live in fear and pain; many souls who are lost and forlorn
In Your Word You said Christ is always with us, and so they are not alone
I thank You for hearing our prayers Holy One; sometimes we pay You no mind
But Your thoughts toward us are more than the sand, and they stand the test of time
So thank You, Great Yahweh, Creator of all - the Heavens, the Earth and the Seas
For giving Your Son, Your Spirit, Your Word, and providing for all of our needs
Singing praises to You, Father Yahweh, I'll sing praises to You everyday
To You I give thanks and to Christ, Your Son, for helping us find our way

Green the colour of hope
Tiny green buds start to emerge on dead looking branches
Winter has not chilled the roots to desolation
Life is anew just wait and see…… as spring launches
Itself into our hearts, we wait for the colours filling the isolation
That cold damp weather has brought.
Yellows of daffodils and narcissus waving their heads in wonder
As though looking around for the tulips and snowdrops
A mass of colour here on the ground….our eyes skyward wander
smiling at the shoots on the blossom trees, showing their crops
Along with all the mighty trees of old
Birds chirping in the watery sunlight
Much as to say ….we are here too
The wonder of Spring unwinds our love of life
Time to start again …. time to renew
Time to spring forth, time to give thanks.

Grateful am I for the gold coined sun that warms my heart
and thankful too for all the stars that shine so bright;
I am indebted to my maker for these blessed hands that can,
write poems of great valor, with a mind that works just fine.
I am beholden for the eyes that see and the voice that speaks
appreciative, for the breath that lives in me .
I am glad I have bread to eat and water to drink
but most and foremost I am thankful for the precious
souls, that make up my family.
Give thanks to the great healer,
A mighty creator and a life-saver,
Father in Heaven, the Holy God,
Guide and take care of us from up above.
Give thanks for all His blessings,
A love so pure never ending,
A heart that help one another
A soul with faith and a true believer
Give thanks for all His creations everywhere,
His priceless gift, It’s ours forever,
Praise Him for the life we enjoy,
Give thanks for our family, it’s a great joy.

It’s okay if it ends now.
Quite fine if it stops here.
Never expected the joys I’ve had.
Children. Amazing. The best.
Their innocence, their laughter, their passion to breathe.
I have loved too.
Loved my children, and my mother.
They too have loved me in return.
Actually, perhaps first, they taught me.
I have loved a woman as well.
I think briefly she loved me.
Then unrequited was my love forever.
Still to tingle, obsess, crave our rendezvous.
Imagine her smile, natural, unforced, her gentle face,
her beckoning eyes, her rose moist lips to kiss.
She was beautifully formed and lovely to behold.
My pulse perpetually pounded in her presence.
So special she was.
So special she made me feel.
Once.
Only in love does participation surpass anticipation.
I’ve experienced this gift, this grace.
Many do not.
There is still love in me.
A gratitude of love.
Compelled to give thanks.
How?
Discover through sacrifice, self-discipline, and longsuffering,
by faith.

I give thanks
for a Dementia patient growing more loving in latter years, my mother
for a Dad who has diabetes, high-blood pressure, overweight, and
should have been in the grave 20 years earlier like father and brother
I give thanks
for a wife with lymphoma who has shown her faith and love of God
for a son who traveled the world and used nursing skills for others
for a daughter with challenges growing up, after college had four job offers
I give thanks
For churches that I have attended that have helped mature me
For good jobs to help take care of my family and those in need
For a great education from a Community College and University
For iron sharpening friends and mentors in to my life they gave
For my Lord Jesus Christ who first loved and got me saved
I give thanks
Mountains rushing towards the heavens
Grass so green it hurts your eyes
When the sun breaks through to light it
From the grey cloud covered sky
Sandy beaches free from clutter
Waiting at the mountains feet
Shifting with the waves that wash them
To yet some other mountain meet
See the rushes as they grow now
At the bottom of the hill
Hear the brook a gently bubbling
Always running never still
Smell the mountain air so sweet
On the breeze as it is blown
Into every crack and crevice
Through the trees now hear it moan
Watch the stars light up the heavens
Like a million fairy lights
Hear the thunder as it booms out
Making us to cuddle tight
Now give thanks unto your Maker
For this land beauteous to see
And thanks for having all our senses
To let us all this beauty see
Today, I need to say
Thank you to all who pass my way
Thank you is a word,
That is not so much in play
Too busy to say thank you
Too stressed to share a smile
Some just can't be bothered,
It stands out a mile.
Etiquette and good manners
Are they becoming things of the past
Saying please and thank you.
Are needed, meant to last,
These expressions of gratitude
We cannot do without
So altogether now PLEASE, SHOUT
THANK YOU.
I give thanks
for the fresh clean air
breathless wide blue sky above
clear water in mountain brooks
fertile soil providing daily bread
creatures large and small gracing our lands
forests of the multitude of tree
grace in man of peace and love
creator of this bounty
provider of life
I give thanks.

Psalm 118:29
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
Duty Honor Code their duty has always been paid
They fight for our freedom so don’t ever let their memory fade
They battle for the righteous cause and sometimes end up dead
They endure hardships we cannot understand so recognize the blood they’ve shed
They’re the men and women of the military Navy Air force Marines and Army
This Memorial Day give thanks or remember a vet who has fought for our country
They conqueror their fear and go into harms way for people who are oppressed or
are
suffering from neglect
And all they are asking for from us is a little acknowledgement and common decent
respect
They’re the men and women of the military: Navy, Air force , Marines, and Army
This Memorial Day give thanks or remember a vet who has fought for our country
They’re the men and women of the military Navy Air force Marines and Army
This Memorial Day give thanks or remember a vet who has fought for our country
So fly your flags with pride and wear your Red, White, and Blue
But always think to yourself they are out there right now somewhere fighting for me
and you
They give everything that they have just for the sake of freedom’s price
So reflect on what they’ve done for us with there ultimate sacrifice
They’re the men and women of the military Navy Air force Marines and Army
This Memorial Day give thanks or remember a vet who has fought for our country
The food is put away, I've cleaned up the mess
Thank you Dear Lord, my house, you did bless
Family and friends you led through the door,
There was plenty enough if someone wanted more
As I looked around the room, my heart swelled inside,
All of this was possible because you were my guide
The blessings you send, make my life worth living
To you I give the glory, Happy Thanksgiving!
Give Thanks and Stand Firm
Should your high hopes be so cruelly lost
smashed so savagely by that very fickle fate
Do not give up your precious life to be tossed
upon heaps and dark mounds of festering hate
When your heart feels the thrust of such shame
steel your resolve to a defiant, heroic stand
Defend life and the honor of your family name
with every step taken upon this earthy land
If your spirit falls low think of a mountain tall
send your soul to rest upon it's highest peak
Ignore the slurs and taunts of those so very small
consider the evil for which they so proudly speak
In great triumph soon you will so richly turn
as that wicked vermin flee back to their master
Consider now the reward in which they will burn
thanking God's grace you avoided such a disaster
Should your high hopes so faithfully be restored
give eternally blessed thanks to our sweet Lord!

It is now ever so important to give thanks...
dear Lord we thank you
for each new day
we thank you for listening when we pray
thank you for your understanding
and peace of mind
thank you for your love and for being kind
thank you for all the joy that you bring
Lord we thank you for every thing. Amen.
1 timothy 4 4-5
4 For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving
5 because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.
.
Let us give thanks for what we have
Let us give thanks for what we had
Let us be grateful for knowing the people we know
Let us be grateful for having known the people we have known
Let us be grateful, just to be grateful
As the spoken word of God resounds
It fueled our faculties with might
As rainbow shades and shapes abounds
There came a song of joy delight
Like waves, it swelled in pools of plenty
The voice of God had reached new heights
It soothes and warms our hearts once empty
We are elated; another realm is school of light
Poetry and light, and life preserved
Such lessons we learn, in doing what's right
Believe on these gifts so many observes
Give thanks! pure poetry equals life.
