Family Reunion Poem by Rosemary Monahan

Now is the time to reminiscence
About all the things we have shared
The heartaches, the joys, the tears
Which came our way throughout the years
Recalling a certain moment in our lives
whether happy or sad, had made us wise
We've grown older, its hard to believe
with some new additons to the family.
And though some have gone from us now.
We will remember them with a smile
We're so parted with distance and time
But we're joined in heart as well as mind.

(1993)
