We're all here for a family reunion . . .


Here we are . . . 

gathered together again . . .
on this . . . 

our Reunion Day.
 

Reminiscing 
and laughing 
and crying . . .
about all of our yesterdays.

Those special times . . . 

we vow ne'er to forget . . .
as the years . . . 

how they seem to fly.
 

And our precious loved ones . . . 
so sorely missed . . .
as one-by-one . . . 

they have said, "good-bye."

But for now . . . 

I believe they are with us . . .
and if we could hear them . . . 

perhaps they would say,
 

"May the circle once again be unbroken . . .
on this . . . Our Reunion Day."

And as we travel on . . . 

through life's unknown days . . .
may we anticipate that day up in Heaven,
 

When we'll all gather 'round . . . 
and once again hear them say . . .

"We're all here for a Family Reunion!"





 

P.S. I vaguely remember being inspired to pen these words by something I read . . . somewhere. While Googling parts of the above poem, the poem posted > HERE < is the only thing similar that came up.
