Reaching Out Poem by Procyon Mukherjee

The time has finally come

To open our doors

Those that were always open

To the winds of faith, goodness, et al



And you are stepping inside

As you always have done

And no welcome can ever wait

When you arrive



Our hearts are beating to the steps

You take to your home

An ensemble of harmony awaiting,

We greet the ushering of life's best



We are reaching out

From one nest to the other

And we have the same longing and hope

One irresistibly turning to the other



We are making the beginning of a day

That must never end

On the binding wishes of ties,

Of human bondage, cast in love



A family is enlarging, unfurling,

Growing in many feathers, blooming,

Drawing this life and its many pastures

We welcome you to the endless canvas

We make together.
