Poem by SMU International Scholars

Our passion brimming to fly

Our lives a mountain to climb

Over the yonder, in the darkest of nights

Standing tall, a man, shimmer of light
 

From Ceylon and Inle

Vietnam and far away,

Across the oceans, along the trails

Hand in hand, we set sail
 

Throughout the nocturne,

Throughout the day

Through the laughters and through the rain

Let us cheer; let us pray
