Thoughts around the Forth of Jully

Holiday Hilarity


A family gathering
brings you back

The older ones
measuring growth

Putting two kids
back to back

An innocent child
patting expectancy

Two new mothers
testing birth trials

The brainy ones in
some no-brain game

Best cook outdoing
with her fancy food

City couple driving
biggest gas burner

Kin helps me figger
who's kin and how


F William Broome 2008

How I love family reunions! At times, it seems as though we dread them...but in the end, they're so much fun!

Been there done that! You've brought back so many memories of growing up with all the relatives in...and before we know we're those grown ups and the relatives coming in! Where does time go? A wonderful reflective write my friend. Enjoyed the gentle tone and the warm setting of family at their best!
Blessings,
Joyce B.
