We should M-make everyday count

And N-never give up!

We must O-overcome our obstacles

And P-put our best foot forward

We must Q-quit quitting

And R-run the race with patience

We must S-strive on

While T-trusting in The Lord

We should U-use our talents

And V-value our time

And X x-ray our own lifestyles

We should Y-yearn to achieve all that we seek

And Z-be zealous when reaching the top!
