Family Reunion

We love one another, this I know to be true;
But we only get together when we're down and blue;
In times of emergency or when a loved one dies,
We meet amid moans and muffled cries;

When we separate we're still fighting back tears,
Promise to keep in touch, not wait so many years;
These words we speak from the depths of our heart,
Kiss each other tenderly as we depart;

We think of each other from time-to-time,
Every once in a while even drop a dime;
But we soon forget, life goes on as before,
Until another sad event rips our hearts to the core.
