Happy New Year and all that jazz! This year I decided to write a new poem for every day of the year. These poems will be based off thoughts or experiences that occurred on that particular day. Hopefully this could be some material for a play or even a book. I wanted to share this one in particular with you all and I hope you enjoy.
This is a poem I wrote on the day I celebrated my first Founders' Day as a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. On January 13, 2012 we as an organization celebrated 99 years of service to the world and to one another as sisters. It is a day we honor the vision of our 22 founders and their commitment to make a difference in the world. I am humbled and honored to be a part of such a wonderful organization and it is my prayer that God continues to guide and strengthen us individuallly and collectively.
Readers , enjoy and to my sawrahs....OO-OOP!
Sisterhood is not the label we stamp on our website
Something that sounds good or appeals to a target audience
It's not something we say in front of our peers to put on face
Our sisterhood is in the small things
The rides home
Loaning money in times of need
Being someone there when love is lost
The meals
The fellowship
The calls just to say I love you
The texts just to check
Defining our sisterhood is not in the words we say
But in our actions
True sisterhood is embodied, preserved, grown, and nurtured
In our actions
Our sisterhood is what helps a bad day turn into an amazing one
Full of positive energy and love
Our sisterhood is ours
Not defined individually, but collectively
Collective hearts
Collective minds
Collective spirits
Joining together to form a bond
The envy of many, admired by more
Our sisterhood is overflowing
in love
in hope
in truth
Not perfect but always striving to be better daily
changing the world daily
For our sisterhood is more than a one day goal
But a lifetime promise to abide in love
