Show The Survey's Findings 49 Reunions by Rhea Toyn Reunion time is here again, So good to see your faces, Some new-some old-but oh what joy, To feel your warm embraces. Sometimes we wonder why we have Reunions every year, But it's so nice to reminisce- We wish everyone were here. Reunions can be many things, Memories-fun things-and some so sad, We'll never forget the good things, And there never was much bad. We've had our cookouts and lunches And eaten the food galore, And if we had our choices- How could we ask for more? We've played some games, and shared our talents, If you were asked-what would YOU choose? If we forget goals set for us, That is when we will lose. Can't you just feel the spirit Of our loved ones, and their glow? We know they are concerned for us And our accomplishments, here below. Great blessings have been promised us, If only we'll obey. When we search our family histories, It will help to pave the way. Genealogy work, we must not shirk, Then Temple work follows, too. Each is an earthly ordinance- Something we must all do. There are things that are more important Than the fun things we have had, That will make us families forever- Our Ancestors will be so glad. Don't think I'm being preachy, The responsibility lies with all. So let's keep the family reunions- Let's each answer to the call. Rhea and Archie Toyn. (Carl Fleischhauer; GCCS CFB-231196-9/28A) |
