All across America,
amidst our summertime fun;
Comes a glorious yearly event,
known as the Family Reunion.
From north and south, east and west,
from near and far away;
Gathering together as one,
to celebrate this day.
Junior home from college now,
united once again;
Sisters and brothers gather around,
to meet his new girlfriend.
There's an uncle up from Florida,
some cousins from PA;
They brought their newest inlaw too,
with a baby on the way.
An aunt from Mississippi,
with her new hubby in tow;
Lavishes hugs and pinches cheeks,
amazed how the little ones grow.
Out come the photo albums,
past reunions and their thrill;
The first year without Grandma,
left a spot no one can fill.
There are games, and love and laughter,
such a grand time we have all day;
Reuniting with our family,
taking time out just to play.
Our day... passes so quickly,
with tearful goodbyes said;
We all look ever onward,
to the unknown year ahead.
All packed up and heading home,
echoes heard in the setting sun;
"Goodbye, we'll see ya next year,
at the Family Reunion."
