In your actions on the world stage,
we see the same fortitude, resolve,
an ability to stay focused, determined,
to prevail in the face of horror
repeating each day, in your cities,
in your homeland, in the grind,
the battle to save your nation,
to stand united, resolute…
Your ability to rise above the carnage,
the terror, the chaos, all of this is
so emblematic of the resolve,
bravery, the courage, the grit,
of all the people of Ukraine,
through all these years, a decade,
of Russian terror and genocide…
The world, the West must change,
in this moment, the existential threat,
the wanton destruction, crimes,
we must rise to the challenge,
that you all have faced, resolute,
to provide you with the shield,
the sword to defend yourself…
Hope rises to the skies, to heaven,
triumphant, surely, for it must,
From the grit of your people,
from the resolve of your nation,
we can see a hopeful future,
you will achieve victory and
a just peace will surely rise…
