Teachers and students sometimes may need a little help drawing Thanksgiving turkeys for their murals, art projects or any crafts they would like to include a friendly turkey in. Here are three restored for your imaginations!

Thanksgiving
Three centuries ago there came
Unto a strange, new land
Pilgrims journeying from afar,
A grave, God-fearing band.
Crossing an unknown ocean
That their children might be free,
They made their home where forests grim
Shadowed a lonely sea.
And down the years the story comes
Of men and women brave,
Who knelt in thankful worship
Beside an alien wave,
No gold had they, or silver,
No cities rich and fair,
But grateful hearts gave thanks to God,
Whose guidance brought them there.
So now when dark November comes
And winds grow bleak and cold,
When all the land is rich with food,
And grain is bright as gold,
With simple words we thank our God,
and at firesides we pray,
When homefolk gather from afar,
To keep Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving
I am thankful for my parents
And my relatives and friends,
I am thankful for the blessings
That my Heavenly Father sends.
I am thankful for the harvest
That was plentiful and fine,
I am thankful for the banner
Floating o'er this land of mine.
I am thankful for Thanksgiving
And its very splendid dinner-
I am certain when I eat it
I will not be any thinner.
November's Way
November has
Not time to weep,
Because the summer's
Gone to sleep.
With driving wind
The leaves she sweeps,
And piles them into
Fragrant heaps.
The morning air
With smoke she fills
From bonfires kindled
On the hills.
Gray days and rain
She too must bring,
For these help make the
Far-off spring.
Then indoor fires
She sets ablaze,
And sings beside them
Songs of praise.
