The Dojo - George Andrews

Is a place for all to come
where one can forget what the day has done
all you need is to enter the door
and all your thoughts will be there no more.

As you bow, you enter a new plane
your efforts in training will help you gain.
You stand ready for the command
your adrenaline flows right through your heart
you look around to the people
that are there
all they want is to be there
and share.

Energies, flowing to and from,
flowing together, they become strong.
The tunic you wear the colour is white
everyone is equal and has a right,
looking for something that is not in sight.

We will continue to try our best
train as hard as all the rest
but never forget
the Dojo is blessed.
It's a place that brings happiness to those who explore
and walk through it's door.
