Knit Closely

With eight warriors of fame,
And three queens of silence,
They are one short of a dozen,
They ARE 'knit closely'.

Some far, yet so near,
Some near, yet so far;
Here's a medley of sorts,
This IS 'knit closely'.

Yarn of diverse colors,
Matted in a wonder fabric,
To clothe an awesome group,
The group is 'knit closely'.

Shoulder to shoulder,
Sharing joys and sorrow,
One for all and all for one,
ALL are 'closely knit'.

Set to conquer skies,
On greener pastures,
Birds of ONE nest,
It must BE closely knit.
