Anthem
Note the clear strains from our school days,
Align with times of growing up;
Touch feels fine gains in words that stay,
Indulge sweet chimes that fill our cup;
One simple sign of home right here,
Nurture feelings that spur us on;
Address each line as grace endears,
Live fond blessings now and beyond.
Ask to be free to live in peace,
Now and here know with heart and soul;
Taste what can be joy's firm increase,
Hurl fate that shows a people whole;
Etch a bold sketch with profound proof,
Measure and match wise tact with truth.
