A handshake, then. A letter,

A connection across time, colour, shared

Smiles, a familiarity.

Love. A feeling of belonging,

Or, at least, strength.

Pursuit of a meaning far greater

Than . . . What?

Doing justice to our people,

To find what makes us

Or open our arms

To the unknown thing, to life

In our own way, to teach,

To be a good follower,

Confident in our

Ability to thrive

The biggest heat,

The biggest heart.

So, a handshake, then, and a letter.
