Gathering

From the Quaker Meeting House, Brant Broughton

We had no rich food to share
but ate enough,
created no overt nativity scenes
but celebrated Christ,
sang no well-known carols
but together intoned
'Dona nobis pacem',
took no collection for refugees
but among us were
two Sudanese, a Syrian, a man from Kurdistan.
