Family is a funny thing
People living in harmony
We will experience some pain

Not enough hours in the day, we often say
we watch as the busyness of life allows time to slip away.
Before we know, days turn to months and months into years,
When our chairperson of the George Family Reunion Committee called for reunion poetry for the 2009 Family Reunion Booklet, I went in search of just the right poem to describe my feelings...
A cherished gift
Your family's love
A gift to me
From God above
time is lighter than a feather
through your fingers it slips
and after time and time
my jar of love never tips
Grandmas are beams of sunshine built into a hug
That leaves a smile on your face and love within you heart
Grandpas are the wise ole ones that are cuddly as a bear
Who always have a neat new trick and story yet to share
A warm welcome
A how do you do
Words of kindness
And comfort too
How does love grow?
Everyone should know!
It's a gift of giving,
Which we hope to keep receiving.
What family means to me is more
Than mere words can convey.
It's been the basis for my life
And how I've faced each day.
If I took the time to list,
all my loves in life.

I was born in the arms of my own king and queen.
They raised me as they were, in the life they had seen.
My queen guarded and protected me as her queen did before.
This shows me to always respect your parents because one day they will leave and you are going to have to do it on your own. That is what the poem means to me.
My whole family will keep talking deep inside my head
It's hard to pay attention to everything that's said
They're yelling out their criticism and it's not one by one
Or their grumbling disapproval for something I have done
