Heartfelt

 

the race is not for the swift

but when God grants you a gift

be sure to use it wisely

and with his guidance

use it timely

because you should seek

to do better

you should work proudly

to honor your ancestors

because legacy is a true concept

remember our foreparents'

hard work and intellect

use that inspiration

to ensure that you leave the nation

in a better condition

that you met it in
