AT YEAR’S END - 2024
At year’s end remember we
Lost ones who poured their energy
Condensed as floors and walls set
From their tears and blood and sweat
At year’s end remember we
Lost ones who “drowned”, some at sea
Friends who “sailed” along with us
We hold dear, and to the Lord entrust
At year’s end remember we
Lost ones estranged by tyranny
Where arrogance was on parade
Masqueraded by dark hatred made
At year’s end mourn we today
For those who felt we’ve gone astray
Making a church of mortar and paint
Where deaf ears tolerated no complaint
And rituals made the truth more faint
At year’s end we hope for era new
Lost ones embraced as seekers true
Respect and love as rules revived
For those devotees pushed aside.
