Best Thankfulness Poems
A blue lobster was saved at Red Lobster today
From the usual fate of lobster ways.
The zookeepers came and took her to the zoo
Where everyone said, “Look she’s blue”.
The other lobsters complained,
"We’re all red-we’re all the same."
And one by one, they ended up on plate
As the dinner a hungry customer ate.
So next time you feel overlooked,
Be thankful that you weren’t cooked!
To get attention, you now know what to do,
Simply dress in something blue.
Your smile has always forced the same upon my face
Your laugh has always caused the same to project from my mouth
Your hugs have always made me feel your love
Your kisses have always made me warm
Your hands against mine have always made my heart seem that much bigger
I love you with my every breath
And I hope that you realize how thankful I am to have you
- Kiara Low Dog
Lying there, serenely, after a warm jasmined bath,
The thought hit me, what if I never again do awake?
Just wide eyed in heaven’s home to joyfully partake!
I awoke to live in eternal love with good and not wrath.
Now existingin a realm with God, not one of mortal men.
To constantly whisper, I am finally here, with joy and Amen!
I set my now young feet on clouds, God’s floor mats!
The joy of having an everlasting young and new body!
In exchange for thie old one that was worn and shoddy.
To be living in His world, a dream come true, so glorious!
Experiencing my breathless, inexpressable ultimate joy,
Of coming to serve my blessed Creator, now I am victorious!
Heaven was never meant to be a continuation of life on earth.
With awe and joy, I was given keys to my own heavenly home.
My only job, to serve Him and with joy, to never roam!

chew your food slowly
your daily bread
grateful for each bite
thankful for those
who sit at your table
wining
masticating
jittering
elbows leaning
mouths wide open
babies crying
but imagine no one
no food at all
not a crumb
mouse nervously chews his tale
dreaming of cheese
chew your food slowly
your daily bread
grateful for each bite
thankful for those
who sit at your table

Thankfulness
Thank you Lord for all that is with me
Forever I will praise and adore thee
The miracle of each breath I take with each day
Never taken for granted, thank you I pray
My being is in your hands, you have a plan
Created by you, I live at your command
Along the path you have prepared for me
Thank you for holding my hand and being the key

Just as there are the stars that twinkle in the sky
so many thousand cars from work are rushing by.
Too many things to do, a way of life engraved,
that hours to peer are few and work makes us a slave.
Do ever you relax to think of air we breathe
or of the trees perhaps, the things we rarely see?
Have ever you heard birds, and can you count their calls?
Well, in so many words, we don't think this at all!
The point is only this: How busy we can be
that all that does exist, our eyes can fail to see!
Sometimes it pays to stop, be thankful for a gift
for in such grateful thoughts, we may just find a lift!
God has blessed me
In this last year
Very very much;
In every day
Nothing was lacking
God made a way
Thanks, Lord, for grace
Happiness and joy
All from the depths of Your love;
Never forsaking me
Keeping and guiding me
Seeking me out from above

The first red of dawn reveals lacy waves.
The last purple shuts down busy with lights.
Many days alike yet may feature kites
and I wonder how many our mind saves.
Somewhere relatives I kissed, hugged wander
make the same meals, crochet like my grandma
so busily paint, , nail or speak too raw
I escape to ride on a moon lander.
But every massage of kittens who purr
invites like moon eclipse, webs with dew drops
and I thank all beginnings, ends and props
because love and nature are potent lures.

Born into this world full of hope
but soon we feel it ebb away
so many struggles are in our face
there's no lack of them every day
Our reaction is to turn right around
immediately change gear reverse back
run from all our life's troubles
but honestly forward's the right track
In the midst of all these struggles
we learn answers to questions of life
in this crucible of regular affliction
there's a remedy through this strife
Strength is received in midst of all this
a divine hand seems so real
giving us growth within ourselves
able to overcome whatever we feel
So be thankful for your trials
there's a purpose here for good
to develop a real strong character
so you look a right real cool dude!
Love remains
when flesh is gone,
and all the words are said -
Beyond the grave
eternal power,
thank you God for love.
Thankfulness
I treasure those heartfelt moments spent at the dining table
With Dad and Mom and us siblings with our own offspring to rear,
Engaged in an eating and conversational atmosphere
In the traditional family gathering festivals.
From the tinkle of the glass, echoed by a spoon on the rim
(To draw our attention), when Dad said grace, and then we’d dig in.
First, a basket of rolls would be set out, served with a fresh, tossed salad.
Then, plates were passed around, laden with steaming vegetables
And turkey meat with mashed potatoes covered in a rich gravy,
And a fine choice of Beaujolais wine to drink and milk for the children,
Followed by Mother’s homemade pumpkin pie topped with whipped cream,
Ending in chatter and laughter, then the clearing of the table.
As I reflect, I cannot help but wonder, where does time go?
And as I look at my brother and sister and our children growing,
Sharing their love, and enjoying freedom from want, I reflect back on years past,
With food always on the table and clothes to wear (hand-me-down or not);
Through Mom and Dad’s example as parents, and with their blessings,
We were taught to be thankful, and now thankfulness comes easily.
Looking back over all of one’s life
one was to stop and ponder so much
so many roads I could have went
but through it you see God’s tender touch
The providence of God is so vast
so many evidences of His divine mark
this fills your heart with real thankfulness
so many times could have been all dark
Count our blessings is a good thing
to remember all God has indeed done
it’s astounding to count them if you can
for they’re so many blessed am I bar none
The bad as well as the good deserve praise
for God’s to be praised forgiving everything
in it all He’s sanctifying you for good
as He knows the glory that it’ll bring
This God is a jealous and holy God
knowing what makes it His perfect will
for He takes all we are in our sins
giving us hearts to see His love overspill
( 1 Thessalonians 5:18 "In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." )
Today I’m thankful for the ability to be thankful
and the way thankfulness breeds thankfulness more and more…
because the more you practice being thankful….
you find
the more you have to be thankful for.
Lord, heart brims with beaming gratitude
For the bliss of beatitude!
