Here We Have Gathered

Here we have gathered, gathered side by side;
circle of kinship, come and step inside!
May all who seek here find a kindly word;
may all who speak here feel they have been heard.
Sing now together this, our hearts' own song.

Here we have gathered, called to celebrate
days of our lifetime, matters small and great;
we of all ages, women, children, men,
infants and sages, sharing what we can.
Sing now together this, our hearts' own song.

Life has it battles, sorrows, and regret;
but in the shadows, let us not forget;
we who now gather know each other's pain;
kindness can heal us; as we give, we gain.
Sing now in friendship this, our hearts' own song.
