Relative to us each

Relatives gather to
Reconnect and update,
Reminisce and relax,
Reveling together.
Rowdy at times but fun.
Revelations are shared.
Repeat again next year.

The school near the estate didn't teach me a lesson
Relatives other than my mother have lived with me
How could I do anything except what mom did

Thursday morning I went out 

With my friends and relatives , on the scout

I took many picture with a pout 

It was a fun day with a good thought

I will never forget the trip to the scout
