Reck-ed Reunion?

Do you remember when we were just kids?

The places we went and the things we did?

Thinking back I remember a time-

when we all got along and things were just fine.

But now there’s a war and how did it start?

Do we want this family to crumble apart?

We bicker, complain and gossip about.

Our kids are nearby as we scream and shout.

So why do we do this and what is it for?

To make us feel better or hurt even more?

It seems we only break to start a new fight.

I’m sure we all know what’s wrong and what’s right.

Someone once said its results from that day,

-That fifth of November when Dad went away.

Now, I know we all hurt and maybe still grieve.

But I found some peace here in what I believe:

Someday I will see him and see Parker, too.

I’ll see Grandpa and Tyler and see all of you.

It’s our gift from God and its part of His plan.

If we still went to church we would all understand.

We want to be happy and it’s what we all need.

But we’ll never get there if we continue to bleed.

I hope we can claim peace right where we stand.

I want to us to someday stand hand in hand.

I know that the battle has calmed down for now.

But I know it will flare up again somehow.

So let’s bandage the wounds and un-break our hearts.

Let’s share all together and make a new start.

We can bury the hatchet along with our pride.

We can all come together without picking sides.

I challenge each one to find peace with each other

And work out the issues with our sisters and brothers.

I mean no offense; just my thought for the day.

If dad were here, what would he say?
