Title: The Calm Among Us
Deeply intertwined, our closeness was no mistake.
Sharing memories together, like old time sake.
Spanning every nation, one love to all.
We thread peace, that’s our triumphant call.
A quilt in hand, sewn with trust and care.
Let us remain unified, escaping despair.
Hand in hand, held with firm embrace.
Humanity first, steadfast with wonderous grace.
Identified by our roots, firm and unshakable.
A culture rich with history, we must remain traceable.
Each one help one, that’s how harmony is sewn.
A camaraderie so beautiful, we are never left on our own.
