T    is for the trust the pilgrims had so many years ago.

H    is for the harvest the settlers learned  to grow.

A    is for America, the land in which we live.

N    is for nature, and beauty which she gives.

K    is for kindness, gentle words, thoughtful deeds.

S    is for smiles, the sunshine everyone needs.

G    is  for gratitude, our blessings big and small.

I     is for ideas, letting wisdom grow tall.

V    is  for voices, singing, laughing, always caring.

I     is for Indians, who taught them about sharing.

N    is for neighbors, across the street , and over seas.

G    is for giving of myself to make a better me.
