Heart and soul
reaching forward.

Words filling
pages.

Ideas moving
nonstop.

Connecting hearts
with souls.

Raising questions
inspiring thinkers

to move beyond
comfort zones.

To explore,
to wander

and pursue
dreams.

To speak
the truth

of ancestors
and those

who will
guide us

towards
a future

where we
can dream

and believe
that hope

and tomorrow
are always

possible.
Amen.
