BECAUSE OUR…
Hands reach out to convey
strong solidarity.
Eyes see and appreciate
all living entities.
Breath vibrates with an attitude
of faithful gratitude.
Speech avoids saying
what’s divisive and crude.
We made progress.
BECAUSE OUR…
Voices share positive messages
through spoken words and songs.
Pens speak to societal issues
to correct what is wrong.
Services address the needy
to help them get on their feet.
Hearts impart empathy—
what many people need.
We made progress.
BECAUSE OUR…
Minds steadily seek knowledge
from the cradle to the grave.
Backs prostrate in prayer,
giving thanks for each new day.
Arms embrace others,
whether rich or poor.
Expressions of unity take root
inside our soul’s core.
We made progress.
BECAUSE OUR…
Tables contain meals
to sustain the gift of health.
Assets are managed frugally
to protect gained wealth.
Frequency serves as a means
to power inner passion.
Lives are fashioned by remembering
the reward of willful action.
We made progress.
