FAMILY PRAYER AND POEM
Our Family Prayer
Dear Lord,
Thank you for this great family.
We honor Your presence and grace bestowed
upon us through the years.
Once again, You have allowed us to gather and celebrate the legacies
left by our fore-fathers
and the legacies we will leave for future generations.
You taught us the strength of our family is Love, Humility, Understanding, and Faith.
As we stand in reverence of You, O Lord,
We pray for Your blessings and guidance to continue our journey.
This is our family prayer as we exemplify You in all that we do.
Amen!
Our Family Poem
Family Reunion
Families are like flowers that grow in the sun
Not to mention the warmth of smiles that beckons you
Upon approach and at end of great fun.
Each meeting engulfs the soul and spirit that binds you
To some so near and others quite far.
It seems like yesterday, no more than a blink
That brings your heart to care - it’s somewhat bizarre!
Chatter of voices-joking, laughing, crying - enough to make you think
This could not be predictable
But it is always reliable
Because my family is a flower that grows in the sun
Only a small part of the garden that is attributable
To the reunion of families sharing love for each one.
