THE AGENDA RUNS FROM DEC 18 TO JAN 1

Reach down deep inside you

To find the source of heat

Passion and commitment

Here is where they meet

Is it gently burning

Or coals not yet to light

What will be the catalyst

That starts you burning bright

For some it may be with them

From perhaps the day they are born

Others may discover it

When their life’s fabric is torn

It’s time to make a difference

Let your passion feed the flames

Share what you are made of

And the world won’t be the same
