My Maker

I love myself because what I am is mine.

I love my family because they are mine.

I love my home, my school, my nation,

The land, the hills, the air and the ocean.

I love the sun, the moon and the sky,

For they give me life and keep my spirits high.

I love the universe, the creator, the keeper,

The demolisher, the incarnation of my Maker.
