Good Speaking
-- A Benediction Song
(excerpt)
Since our time for sharing's finished
and our meeting now is done,
Take yourself a thoughtful moment each to every one.
Though our gath'ring in is ended and the time has come to part,
Keep our being here together close within your heart.
Build a feeling warm within you, let it shine forth from your eye.
Live full with what is in you, leave your best as you pass by.
There is nothing but what is in us. What we are is all our gift.
Share yourself with joy and sadness ere no one is left.
