Welcome

No need to go the full “extra mile”!
A few faltering steps will do,
To welcome the stranger who ventures in
To Church, to hall, to pew.

No need to worry about “what to say”,
A handclasp, sincerely given,
May be all the stranger really requires
To catch a glimpse of “heaven”!

And your “fellow members”? – let’s not forget
To greet each with kind affection,
and that’s something you’ll not regret,
(As it will flow in each direction!)
