Reunion Time At Bobby Winn's Place
By Irvin L. Rozier
In June the Winn kinfolks gathered at Bobby's place
It sure was good to see the smile on his face
Bobby's house is by the peaceful Satilla River
We all appreciate Bobby, he is a giver
Bobby and Nancy cooked up some fresh fish
The rest of us brought a covered dish
Aunt Mildred and Aunt Ida Mae were there
The table was spread with some mighty fine fare
Aunt Irma's son, Alvin, prayed over our meal
The presence of the Lord you could surely feel
As I looked around I could not see
Some of the loved ones who were dear to me
We all shared memories of Grandpa and Granny Winn
We wrote some of them down with Aunt Mil's pen
Bobby and Jeanette's daddy was killed in World War Two
Uncle Jasper didn't get to see his children as they grew
Aunt Mildred's twin sister, Mary, is also my mother
They sure did love and care for each other
Mama has gone on to be with the Lord
One day we will all have to cross over that ford
I remember Aunt Hazel and her shiny chrome toaster
She always made me put my juice glass on a coaster
Uncle Archie and Uncle Leo were remembered that day
They sure loved to laugh, I miss them I do say
Thank you Bobby for giving a great gift
I sat on your dock and watched a log drift
Down the Satilla River by the old Burnt Fort
On the site of the now long gone river port
The Archie and Ruth Winn family is spread far and wide
Some were not there and missed the fish that Bobby fried
I have found memories of my many kith and kin
From that great American family with the name of Winn
