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.
