A Leader’s Vision - Fawziya al Maskiry

From under the shade of a tree
He said we can learn
Old and young
Our Country’s future is his concern.
Noble lessons indeed
From our Sultan, we learn
That we all must heed
Keeping aside all greed
To help those in need
And make peace with all beings.
Wise lessons we learn
To sow the seeds
Of love beyond creed
For a nation so great
Worthy of our Sultan Qaboos bin Said.
Building our country
From sand and stone
Embracing windswept deserts
To flourish, green
Following the lessons of
Our Sultan Qaboos bin Said.
