Live well and love in this New Year

(A new Year's song, sung to the tune of "the parting glass")

All movements hopes and dreams of change,
Need cloth from distant places found.
To sew two strangers tight seems strange.
Til for warmth, the quilt is wrapped around.

Other's words are loose as sand
With no place to build or children rear
Unclench your fist and take my hand
Let's live well and love in this New Year.

Are we so different as you would insist
That eyes or lips should meet no more?
Past thoughts and feelings reminisced
Can inspire wanderings to distant shores.

To join as one in heart and mind
Is greed and hatred's greatest fear.
The path, the way, the dance to find
We can
 Live well and love in this New year.

Oceans we are meant to cross,
And comrades meant to meet again.
New friends are made but old not lost.
Mind's reason kept with rhyme regained.

This tune I hope, will embrace and touch,
Eyes That see and ears that hear.
To join as one is not too much.
Live well and love in this New Year.
