Thanksgiving Day Poem

This isn’t just any turkey.
As anyone can see.
I made it with my hand,
Which is part of me.
It comes with lot of love,
Especially to say,
I hope you have a very
Happy Thanksgiving Day!

It can also be used to send Thanksgiving cards to those friends and family members you may not see on Thanksgiving Day or as a keepsake to give to your child when they grow up.
