It’s been three years since we last met
In Colorado peaks
But we returned to Texas house
To meet again this week

The Gorman-Alger family
Has grown in decades past
But the reunion has maintained
Tradition that will last

The family tree took six whole sheets
Of paper to compile
A bit larger than it had looked
If made in first year’s style

The house would buzz with chatter loud
And food was plenteous
The babies moved throughout the floor
And sometimes made a fuss

We played some cards and volleyball
And saw a baseball game
Went to museum for the men
Of militant acclaim

But most of all we had some time
To be with family
Who we might otherwise forget
And certainly not see
