When Families Collide
Around this time of year
Our families draw near
They gather side by side.
Young and old they meet
And munch on tasty treats
Around the fireside.
A conversation starts
The subject quickly parts
A gap a generation wide.
The men get more intense
The women are incensed
They exit and they cry.
But grandma has a plan
She does all that she can
And quickly runs outside.
She finds her new grand babe
In mama's arms and says
"He's needed there inside!"
She brings the baby in
All eyes are turned to him
His smile a mile wide.
A calm is then restored
Old arguments ignored
Hearts melt away their pride.
A child brought them peace
Just like the Prince of Peace
Back then one starry night.
