Fam'ly get together

---

Well we've  got time for celebrating now

the life that lives and grows in us, somehow

it's carried in this body that relates

in ways creative love just celebrates;

for even when discomfort seems a pest -

sometimes some kinds of change will lose their zest:

the beasts of burden need to take a rest -

and gracious gardens garnished shine their best

when folk lie down inside them and around

and celebrate the life that has been found

by now enjoying it, not being bound

by anything that's less, without a sound,

good reason that would celebrate "hesed"

the love and loyal-ty by which we're led.

They faithfully keep focus, not just shed

the old and tired, or to whom we're wed 

- not by a contract, with its penalties,

but covenant from whom we are, so these

bind people in a way that's surely known,

but not as facts of data can be shown

to be residing on a disk or tape

or in some spots of brains* of man or ape,

but as a friend is known themselves by friend

who shares and listens well, to help and mend,

and works out stuff about, but too, for them,

since they are on the same team as their friends.

This body of a famil-y is made

to signify those chicks in their hen's shade.
