She is beauty, she is love...by her steps...all know her grace
She is phenomenal in every way...she is a gift from the highest place
She is selfless and charitable, forever reaching to uplift another
She is the Cream that rises, she nurtures her people as a mother
Her beautiful intelligence shines a Crimson hue
From her wisdom, it lights a path...forged by the twenty-two
A path of service to her people...in whom she sees great need
Taking a new road, the one less-traveled, to accomplish her mighty deed
Her purpose is so deep, her cause so sincere
To speak truth to power, so an entire nation would hear
To educate, to liberate, to chart freedom’s course anew
She is twenty-two who became one, when one became two
She marched unashamed, through the cold January wind
To join a great cause, and to suffer...for her courage knows no end
She thrusts herself to her people, her love deeper than they can know
Using her mind, body and spirit...with five points...each to empower and to grow
When they see her, they are inspired, they seek her name, so they ask
She informs them that she is Dorothy, Clara, Mary, and Shabazz
She is also Lena and Cicely, she is Shirley, Zephyr and Marguerite
She is timeless, she has many names...too numerous to speak
For each name has an enduring spirit...with a cause for all to be free
They are united by two hands forming Delta, across her heart is D.S.T.
Happy Birthday my beautiful Sisters of Delta Sigma Theta
