Live United Or Die Divided

None walks as well as we desire or should.                                                                                                                      Some fall down, having done the best they could.                                                                                          We all may not learn to talk, walk, sit, and stand.                                                                                                                           But we must all join hand in hand.             

If we do not, we will simply sink into the sand.                                                                                                          We must live, learn, and try to understand.                                               United as one, we must stand face to face;                                                                                                                              or divided we will fall, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
