(can be sung to “Sunrise, Sunset” <br />The refrain is from the original song) <br /> <br />1. <br />What motives bring us here together? <br />What reasons do we have in mind? <br />Can we yet plan while growing older? <br />Is there yet time? <br /> <br />When did we get to do our planning? <br />How did we show our love and care? <br />Isn’t it now the time for us to share? <br /> <br />REFRAIN: <br />Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset, <br />Swiftly flow the days; <br />Seedlings turn overnight to sunflow’rs, <br />Blossoming even as we gaze. <br /> <br />Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset, <br />Swiftly fly the years; <br />One season following another, <br />Laden with happiness and tears. <br /> <br />2. How can we truly do our hoping? <br />What all together yet abide? <br />Joining each other as we stand here side by side. <br /> <br />Face the real quest of this our living? <br />Live the real hopes that bring true bliss? <br />Sacrifice, suffering for happiness? <br /> <br /> - May 20,1992<br /><br />Ben Gieske<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/coming-together/
