Family Reunions

A poem about the joy of being with your family…
We come together, young and old
we travel distance just to be
surrounded by your people
cousins, uncles, aunts and grans
in perfect harmony

There’s power in these gathering,
love renews and flows right through....
through the smiles, hugs and memories
of how we used to be...
through the surprise and glee
when we get to see
the peeps we never knew

Good food, real laughter....
our bonds become so strong
we know that we belong
with each embrace,
with cheek kissed,
with each sang song,...
we see what we have missed
and we tell ourselves
we've been apart too long

We hold each others hands and pray
thanking Jesus for his grace
asking God to guise safely home
until we meet again
in another time
in another place
