It's a Time for Family and Friends,
Every Summer picnic requires this skill,
A master in command of the BBQ's grill,
When burgers, hot dogs, and meats got cooked,
Then Family and Friends hands often get shook,
As the children play and run around till it's dark!
Others will swim around in the pool or at the park,
The music will blast long and loud,
Women will dance and men show off in their cars,
All will go home in the night happy as a Lark,
On the weekends till the Summer ends,
Kids will play tag or run around yelling "not-it",
It's a Time for Family and Friends!
When their parents say it's time to quit,
Their parents will make plans to meet again,
They'll say for sure but not tell you when,
You'll be surprised when you see your old friend,
Didn't plan to see them around so soon,
So you'll hang out way past the afternoon,
Every Summer picnic requires this skill!
Kids will get to Better know family and friends,
Make instant shared memories on their FB posts,
Share the things a fun Life Offers and then Chill,
Be laughing and talking as they hit their Sends,
Get hungry and make mention to their hosts,
Coming closer to the food tables set near by,
A master in command of the BBQ’s grill!
As friends danced or looked at their cars,
A belly's grumbling was beginning and stirred,
The sun goes down as kids are looking for stars,
Drinks poured in as family and friends get blurred,
As more greetings, hugs, and hands got shook,
Food is ready as the plates begin to unfurl,
When burgers, hot dogs, and meats got cooked!
In times of the Past these memories were retold,
Came the camera this moment in time got held,
As aging family and friends were growing old,
Shared memories of past summer's now showed,
Old smiles of past BBQ's memories revealed,
A Rembrance of in-ground BBQ pits used to cook,
Then Family and Friends hands often get shook!
Kids will learn to sing old songs like a Lark,
New and old dances while growing strong,
Not realize as more Family History is Made,
While learning this some will miss a beat or mark,
Old recipes get shared for more BBQ's to prepare,
What's of Importance is Learning how to Share,
As the children play and run around till it's dark!
