When was your Birthday Party?

BIRTHDAY PARTY 
 
There is a party in our village
when a new baby is born.
Families all get together
on a Saturday morning at 11am
to meet the new arrival, and
welcome this new person to our world.
 
We celebrate with smiles and hugs
giving thanks for all our lives.
We shed a small tear of remembrance
for those who have left us.
These little parties are literally, staging posts, 
and the lifeblood of our village.
 
We call this a  'Birth Day' party,
for the time of our first days.
It’s the informal coming together of
family, friends and community.
It’s our call to journey with the child
and for us all to begin again.
