A Family Celebration
Laughter is all I hear
The thought of being together is what brought us here
Smiling is all I see
Children playing, running, and being free
The men having a good time and slaving over the grill
The women sitting, laughing, and patiently waiting for their stomachs to be filled
I look around happily
And thank God for my family
No reason for me to be sad
For on this day of a family celebration, I should be glad
For there's so many people; young and old
No matter how young or old, they're all filled with great souls
Everyone seems to be so merry
Sharing bits and bits of good times given by the family
The young seems to be so amazed
From the stories told by the old about the good ole days
I look up and grin from ear to ear
Because I'm so ecstatic to have my family here
