We’ve had some fun!

We’ve seen our lands.

Mine has snow -- yours has sand!!…

Differences there are, for sure,

And now that we’ve had our tour,

Let’s not forget one special thing…..

What is it that makes our hearts sing?….

Kuwait? Scotland? It’s just a name…….

For in God’s eyes, we’re all the same!

 

PEACE, LOVE AND EDUCATION WILL SEE US THROUGH

MAY GOD BLESS YOU!
