A FUN FAMILY DAY

Soon they will be coming, all of them today,
Helping with a project, each in their own way,
But it is being together as a family that is best,
It binds us all together, as we work, play and rest.

It will not matter if the sun does not shine bright,
But we hope it will not rain with all its might,
For the house is being shingled with sweet wood,
Cedar so fragrant, they once mighty trees stood.

It will be fun doing things, working all together,
The grandchildren will play in all sorts of weather,
As the rest divide the tasks, so many things to do,
Hammering, passing, minding the baby tying a shoe,
Preparing a meal, passing round drinks and a snack
Passing a towel to wipe sweat off the face, hands and back.

Whatever we do, whether we work, rest, cook or play
The thing we’ll remember that we were together today,
A family bonding, preparing for our eternal home,
Remembering today wherever we may roam.
