This Day of Oath
On this day of Oath and Speech,
of Prayer and poem and song,
the words of life abide in us,
an always humming chord.
Words that stir, words that humble,
words that make us cry,
words we shout with joy,
words that we only whisper when good friends die.
Words to signify where we’ve been,
Words of what might be,
and what we all strive towards,
words that pull us through dark
nights of pain and words to renew life.
Justice; liberty; peace; equality; freedom;
these are our simple words of life and death.
