THE POWER OF ROOTS OF

COMPASSIONATE COMMUNITIES
COMPASSION

In halls where lessons shape the mind,
Where textbooks open, futures find,
A seed of kindness softly sown,
In every heart, a garden grown.

Amidst the desks and whispered plans,
Compassion blooms through helping hands,
A friend who sits when shadows fall,
A voice that lifts when spirits stall.

Beyond the gates where school bells ring,
The world awaits what love can bring,
With eager steps, we cross the line,
Our small hands clasped in service, kind.
We wander streets where stories hide,
Where hope and hardship walk side by side,
We listen, learn, and gently mend,
A neighbor’s need, a stranger’s end.
From classroom walls to open air,
We share the strength of those who care,
And as our reach and roots expand,
We weave a brighter, braver land.
For in each act of selfless grace,
We build a more inclusive space,
A world where empathy can thrive,
Where every soul feels seen, alive.
Let us, as students, pave the way,
With quiet deeds and words that stay,
To show that change is not a dream—
It starts with us, a living stream.

And when the world reflects this truth,
Its gentlest echoes call our youth,
To lead with hearts and hands set free,
And craft a compassionate community.
