Define (Divine) Tradition
©2009 Susan Noyes Anderson and reworked in 2024
Tradition is the golden thread
that binds our lives together,
weaving through every memory
sweet ties that last forever.
It shines a light on every face,
adds luster to the commonplace,
reminds us of a distant song
and tells our hearts where we belong.
Wrapping around us in the cold,
it holds and warms us, young and old;
sustains us through the storm and strife;
infuses meaning into life,
and witnesses that we are one –
This family lasts forever.
Tradition is the golden thread
that binds our souls together.
