Reconciliation
The struggle has been fierce
Its aftermath evokes tears
But one thing is crystal clear
Quenching the fire the only thing, right
That will ensure our future, bright
Reconciliation, our arbiter must be
We all deemed the struggle a just fight
You were fighting for your right
We were defending our right
Why were we oblivious of the obvious
Allowing selfishness our master be
Leading us sheepishly to self-destruction
Humans of one nation
People with one destination
This mistake, never must we replay
A new heart we must display
Reconciliation the only way out
Reconciliation, our only hope

I think that, on the reconciliation issue, if they had the votes, we wouldn't have had the summit. And if they try to go through reconciliation, it will be a change in semantics. Instead of the American people saying 'stop the bill' or 'kill the bill,' it's all going to be about repealing the bill. That's not the kind of discussion that they want.

The only possible role that I can see for reconciliation would be to make modest changes in the major package to improve affordability, to deal with what share of Medicaid expansion the federal government pays, those kinds of issues, which is the traditional role for reconciliation in health care.

Welfare reform happened with reconciliation; half the Democrats voted for it. The Bush tax cuts happened with reconciliation; twelve Democratic Senators voted for it. You didn't have a real partisan issue on those times that it was used.

Today... 'Angel
O great Angel and deliverer coming from heaven
The One to whom God's great Name as been given.
Protecting us from all harm you guide the way
Sent ahead to lead as we follow You and obey.
Wondrous Angel and messenger from heaven come
bringing God's message and leading us home.
Mighty One doing His bidding and showing His love
Angel of reconciliation bringing grace from above.
For God shows His mercy in forgiving our rebellion
His message to the world of love and reconciliation.
He sent His beloved Son into the world to save
to set us free from the tyranny of an awful grave.
He came into our world laying His glory aside
This Angel of God outstretched His arms so wide
embraced the world in His love when He died
poured out His life giving blood to bring us inside.
(see also the additional information in the Poet's notes box)
We are all one - or at least we should be - and it is our job, our duty, and our great challenge to fight the voices of division and seek the salve of reconciliation.

I know what love is!
I know what seeing is!
As I saw you that day for the first time
So I know what liking is!
I know what striking is!
As I stroke stone against stone
So I know what the spark is!
I know what rubbing is!
As I rubbed heart against heart
So I know what love is!
I know what caring is!
As I had been used to it since we met
So I know what soft touch is!
I know what fire is!
As I had been burning along with you
So I know what nectar is!
I know what compassion is!
As I have experienced it with you
So I know what affection is!
I know what addiction is!
As I have been addicted to the smell of you
So I know what obsession is!
I know what memory is!
As I have experienced the break up
So I know what the hurt is!
I know what mistake is!
As I have been the victim of misjudgement
So I know what reconciliation is!
I know what longing is!
As I have suffered from emptiness
So I know what she is!
I know what losing is!
As I have lost in the rough wind
So I know what I miss!

Day And Night
Day and night i have been waiting for you,
Day and night i have been expecting you;
For there can be no true reconciliation if,
People are not prepared to forgive and forget about the past!
Say it off!
Shed it off! !
Laugh it off! ! !
Well, some people do find it difficult to say, 'I am sorry';
Even when they are at fault!
In the future to come and in with the time to hold on,
For i have chosen the way on the right path;
And going through through tunnels and through the woods,
For my life is like the 'Golden Tree' next to you.
There is something extra for you and i,
But caring and sharing is all that matters a lot!
So come to terms with the past and,
Make room for the future!
For it is like the way the wind blows and,
Like the way that your love flows to my heart;
And i will be there for you always on this love.

One bright day the people together

Hey, unnuh see the one bright day, South Africa free
Believe me, one bright day,drugs free country

Make it to the two bright days

So there can be, many, many, years and years and years

Reconciliation
on slow
calculated steps
shall you approach
a door
you knock
there is no hesitation
for a reconciliation
on a remorse
pain shall be
forgotten
and then the door
shall open
the embrace waits
tears fall.
