​Friendships  affirm the lessons  we have learnt along the way We have time to laugh out loud Creating new memories Recalling when we held each Close Drying tears As we share bubbles of joy Our voice amplifies  Coalitions of determination As we ride the waves Uplifting collective understanding  Valuing what each brings Our work together  Brings a shift from reaction As we sit Bravely together At a redesigned table Willing to listen, to hear Reaching down to the root causes Even if it uncomfortable  Because it is time for solutions. Our Solidarity in action Reaps Informed and peaceful Transformation of structures And systems  Releasing the bonds of injustice My hope for the new year  As we stand together Across the Generations Is happiness, joy, peace and love for you May all you sow  Yield a bountiful harvest of fulfilment and success
