(K)ings...our devout men...standing UNITED,

(W)omen...our queens...full of strength...will not be misguided;

(A)mbitious, responsible and respectful

to

ALL sisters and brothers,

(N)ever failing an opportunity to encourage others;

(Z)estfully caring for those whom we may not know...

eager to teach

and watch them grow,

(A)lways striving to keep peace with ALL men

...today, tomorrow, until the end;

(A)nytime we feel we're losing our way...

we look up to consider who made the day...

bow our heads and humbly pray...to Him...

and say,

"thank you Lord for faith, purpose and creativity,

for concern, determination and UNITY."
