Just Left

I have never seen so many Of my family in one place Our little house is so full That there’s very little space My brothers and my sisters Aunts and Uncles, cousins too Friends I knew from years ago I can’t believe this is true Their lips are busy moving But I don’t hear a noise Seems this room of people Have all lost their voice They’re filling up their glasses While smiling all the time As someone in the kitchen Opens another bottle of wine I try to join festivities To grab a piece of cake This feat too beyond me These people are at my Wake
