Picture this…

Countless people living without need
Food, shelter, clothing, and healthcare
No one can take these for granted
Because they are not a concern

Money is a memory
What we produce and make, we use
What we have left,
We share

There is no such thing as
Nation or country
Or state or city
Or suburb or neighborhood

There is only one community
A community that looks much like a family
But we’re not all related
Except through that which we believe

And this belief is the Word
Our God
It is He who made us
It is because of Him that we exist

We love one another
Because we know one another
We know one another
Because we share with everyone

We do not hide from anything
Because everything is good
We have no reason to fight
Because no one is wrong or right

Our ideas are different
Our goals are our own
If our ideas help others to grow
We freely give them

There is no greed
There is no regret
What once caused us pain
We surely forget

We walk in communion
With our Lord and Savior
We praise the Father
Of all creation

We are free to ask questions
Without inhibition
We are free to be
Who we were meant to be

Nothing is rejected
Nothing is required
Nothing is expected
Everything is accepted

A communion
Breaking bread
With everyone
Who has ever taken the host

A reason to live
Beyond that which we thought we knew
A season of joy
That will never end.
