Hope was a good friend; watching how my fate would tend,

Came to me whispering; telling me how humanity I can befriend.

Humanity is not a race; not a person not a place,

It’s something great that you can share, connecting minds to selflessly care.

I am a creation with colorful feathers;

But humanity and selflessness are my everlasting brothers,

Under my wings you will feel protected; but through humanity you all feel connected.

In today’s world of pollution’s haze; only humanity can give a clear gaze,

Where there is hope there is no fear; where there is love there is endless cheer.

Some call this a belief I call this tolerance; let us come together to maintain earth’s balance.

Communities mixed so diversely; truly the perfect sight to see,

This is my land, this is my UAE!!
