Family Gatherings
Excitement fills the air all day, and I can hardly wait,
I must plan and prepare- for I don’t want dinner to be late,
The family’s coming over, and I am hosting tonight,
I’m keeping it simple, but trying with all my might,
To have a lovely holiday gathering, the time slips by so
fast,
These times are special times and make memories that last,
To get everyone together is a feat that is not so easy,
This time of year, or anytime, can be hectic and very busy,
My three children are all married and settled into their
own,
I blinked and when I looked again, they were all full-grown!
That they all live locally has made my life so rich,
Sometimes I just want to stop and give myself a pinch,
Now growing families of their own, we all are simply blessed,
And having them all here tonight is pure joy, I must confess!
How can I contain this excitement that I feel?
I guess I won’t contain it, as we share this humble meal,
Lots of smiles and laughter, with loud conversations,
Come to my house, you need no reservations!
