They were all together
when the babies had to be hidden.
They were all together
in the desert,
gathering the manna,
wandering,
worshipping.
They were all together
when their toes dipped
in the Jordan,
and watched
the cairn grow high.
They were all together
weeping
in Babylon.
They were all together
when a baby was born
and wrapped up.
They were all together
laughing
running
chatting
on the way to the Passover.
They were all together
on a hillside
in Galilee
for a massive picnic.
They were all together
when they
saw him
and touched him
and ate with him.
They were all together
when Peter spoke up,
'This promise is
for you and your children'.
They were all together
sharing
learning
remembering
worshipping
praying.
They were all together
when Paul's letters were read.
They were all together
when they wept
and hugged him
on the beach
and had to say goodbye.
All together?
Not labelled
and separated
by age
and type.
All together
God's family
the Church.
