The final guest has taken leave,
My nephew and his wife.
We've had the most bodacious time
I've had in my whole life.

One hundred fifty people
Came along to spend the day.
The weather was the finest
That has ever come our way.

The youngest child was 13 days
The eldest person eighty-three.
Every single one of them
So precious unto me.

Dozens of rolls of film were used
And digital cameras too.
If I have your email address
I can send pictures to you.

I prayed hard for good weather.
I must have passed God's test.
For he looked down on our loving tribe
And sent his very best.

Don't He always give us His best? If only we'd do the same.    You got me thinking there didn't you? LOL

Sounds like a wonderful time, and a great blessing!! Thanks for sharing it!
