Our Carpenter Reunion

Our Carpenter Reunion

At reunions are my people

Many cousins and grandmother too

There is no sign of regal

As we are country folk through and through

There is always plenty to eat

And many people visiting

Proud of our family

And counting all our blessings

After lunch the boys play catch

With adults looking on

And the adults smoke their cigarettes

Outside where they belong

A little trailer house

Is where we always gather

As a family of the south

With God a daily matter 

At reunions we make new memories

To go with those of the past

And as we look back we see

A blessed family in fact
