Hopeful Permanence

Unison, harmony, perfect understanding of purpose;

More than a place, but still a locale to be desired.

As our hands toil on the clock of corporate service,

Home is our collective wishful setting.

In the midst of all age and growth,

All progress still leads us to a fountainhead.

The heart, mind, and soul stirs us onward;

A forward hope in restful residence is imprinted.

Waiting, working, wishing to be with,

And within the person and people;

The person, people, and place full of unblemished aspiration.

Home today offers a glimpse of our home tomorrow;

Our pied-à-terre becomes permanent,

And we are perfectly known and loved.
