Reunion Time

Excitement is brewing
The reunion is here
The time has come
To see friends, so dear.

To Gulf Shores we've come
From all over the place
To see our sisters
Up close, face to face.

Not everyone understands
What this one weekend does
For our spirits and souls
It's a lifesaver for us.

We can all be ourselves
No one puts on airs
We love and we laugh
And eat without care.

At night when it's time
We don our dancing shoes
And dance to the oldies
"Night Owl" and the blues.

We talk and we walk
Practice yoga on the beach
Socialize with everyone
That's within an arm's reach.

We wake up early
And stay up late
Savoring each and every moment
For this reunion date.

We learn from each other
About things that are new
A diet, a book
Or a new tea to brew.

We cry and console
Listen with care
Offer support when needed
Sometimes ending in prayer.

We leave fulfilled
Relaxed and content
With a tear in our eye
For the good times we've spent.

This one long weekend
Is like a touch of heaven to all
We've become closer friends
While we're having a ball.
