All day singin' and
dinner on the ground;
times when a picnic
could REALLY be found!

Ahhhhh, and the goodies
'pon long tables spread;
fried chicken 'n fixins.
after scriptures were read.

Food fit for a king
fill'd tables end to end;
with desserts to die for
such a joy ~ such a friend:-)

Wafting through the air
scents of such delight;
we'd pester for seconds
that tasted just right.

Remember the horseshoes
round the ringer they'd clang;
old~fashion'd ~ you bet
and the songs that we sang?

Grands, mas and pas,
the whole congregation;
thankin' the Lord for
blessin' our food & our nation.

Memories worth keeping,
summer picnics, ne'er forget;
to be tenderly cherished
I remember them yet!
