our hopeful, vibrant society
grows people
with happy hearts, smiling
faces & satisfied
minds
we share a vision
of our land & our
world
we love each other––
we love life & freedom
for all
we have hope for
the future & grace abundant
for others
we live in a nation
of harmony & caring––
of fairness & the firm
handshake––
of kindness & welcoming
we know that doing
our best is more important than
winning––
& none of us would
ever take
all
we abhor greed
& balance the virtues
of self-reliance &
generosity in our every
way––
we thrive on fresh water &
clear sky––
standing barefoot on the earth
with breathing seeds
in our hands
the middle class is the
foundation of our
strength & a model
for all the world
each of us is
wise in our own
way––
the best among us
are the leaders of
our families, teachers of
our children, principals of
our schools, governors of
our states, legislators,
judges & presidents
we thrive on liberty without
conflict, justice with
humility & progress
with open
minds
our world is too small to have
strangers & big enough
to love
differences
at the end of our lives
we enter heaven
with confidence
& radiating beams
of light
like a new
day
