Reunion

Blessed are those who travel far
to find each other
to hear the stories
to renew the friendships kept protected through the years.

Blessed are those who travel near
to see the changes
to sing the songs
to affirm the love that holds on through the years.

Blessed are those who open their doors
to prepare the way
to invite the travelers
to welcome all who come this way, now and through the years.

Bless this gathering
bless this reunion
bless each one
through the years
through the years
