Weekly Memory Work: Thanksgiving poem and Genesis 1:16

“God made two great lights-the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.”


So many pumpkins, 

And so many beans, 

More kinds of corn,

Than we’ve ever seen-

In mush and in bread, 

Roasted and dried;

Without Indian corn

We all would have died. 

So thank you for corn

And thank you for friends, 

On the earth and on others

We all must depend.
