Mingle
Let us mingle midst belongingness-worth
As partnership creates blest bonding zest
Around healthy camaraderie's mirth
We first experienced in our homes' sweet nest.
Growing up along our mingling terrain
We learned that with others, we ought to blend
Fellowships, we built; and friends, we did gain
Keeping them graciously until the end.
Having spirit toward gratitude light
With sharing, giving, caring, loving-glow
Mingling blooms in companionship delight
For God grants joy* along engagement-flow.
Let us continue in our mingling spree
Smiting hypocrisy through respect-ground
Showing kindness of peaceful good-works' glee
Thankful for brothers and sisters around.
*Romans 15:32 That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.
