Family gatherings, alumni meetings, gathering of friends fill happiness in our lives. Everyone feels that the gathering should go on and on. Beautiful poem. Thank you.
It reminds me of my left out lovely early days in my boyhood when we were united in every festivity (say new year, marriage, first rice, or Durga Puja) . I'm born & brought up in a joint family, it reminds me of those large no of relatives, those exchange of good wishes, we the kids' running around with fun & frolics that warmth..... reminds me those good old days, getting nostalgic......this lovely detailing touches heart.
Family reunions are always occasions eagerly looked forward to. When dear ones gather together under one roof after a period of time...what an excitement.... what all hot news to share... how much to remember and recollect from the past... how much to plan for the future...! Every one irrespective of age engage in lively talks and merry making! When I read this beautiful poem of yours, I am reminded of a great family get together when my mother was alive and we gathered together to celebrate her 85th birthday! ! Thanks Pat for all the pleasant memories, this poem evoked! !
With this poem I must say, you took me, the reader and made me an invisible guest at the family reunion, thank you for the invitation...Beautiful poem.....
