Family Reunion
Uncles and Aunts standing all around
So many I love yous, I feel i could drown
I take one step forward, I take two steps back
Im bombarded by people who just want to yack
Cheeks that are aflame from the pinching they've endured
From elderly relatives saying how much ive matured
From Rowdy young boys playing ball in the fields
To old ball capped men conversing on this years crop yield
Grandkids lining up and sitting side by side
Bubbling with exitement to go on a tractor ride
From corn on the cob to down home fried chicken
No where else could you find such good pickens
As we gather together and in thankful union we pray
I know that i will always remember these family reunions as special days
