Ode To a Star
A "STAR: is the light That brighten the way To the "ISIS" throne aboveTherefore, when we two shall meet Let us embrace one another with love.
TOGETHER
I'm glad that I' m a Daughter of Isis Cant think of much else I would rather be There are ties of love and friendship among us
Truth, Faith, and Honesty. There's plenty work to be done in our court
No task is too great, or too small, to do We all just serve with joy where needed
And together, we see the job through
