Curler’s Grace *

Bless our friends
and bless our food
Curling has brought us together
See our joy
And feel our love
As we break bread together
Friendship and love
is our guiding light
Guiding light forever
Bless our friends
And bless our food
To all good curling together

AMEN

Auld Lang Syne **

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

And surely you’ll buy your pint cup!
And surely I’ll buy mine!
And we’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
