Sit with me
in the quiet circle of home,
let the outside drizzle
accentuate the warmth within

Join me virtually
if not in person,
for we all need
to feel companioned

And we all need
to feel the final welcome
that profoundly celebrates
how we are treasured,
the endless scope of where we are essential,
the boundless coziness of where we all belong.
