To Me This Is A Miracle

We thank You Lord for one more time to all join in great fun. Another year has passed while ages climb and truly You love each one. This family is proud of all those years, because the twelve "kids" remain. This Stratton family shares loving tears,  with lots of memories they retain. Lord, we surely know, how lucky we are that this dozen of children were born. Several live close and few that are so far, and their bonds have never been worn. Some bring husbands, others bring wives, while a few are single in rhyme. How thankful we are to share the lives together each year at this time. We are gathered here, with help from You. We made it through the year okay. To visit those returning each year so true   and those who eat the Stratton buffet. This large family we are thankful to share... Ranging from ages eighty-four to fifty-eight. All reunited we will pray our finest prayer, it is a miracle, none of the twelve are late.   Please, Lord Jesus let the siblings know     Granny and Papa still feel their love. Warmth received from memories can show that God's Angels hover above. Charlotte Ann Donovan

Additional Notes:
This was written for my mom's family of twelve children who are all still living. This is a very large family and we're proud to have it around here each year in June. We think this is exceptional.
