A Tribute for the
Honorable Congresswoman
Sheila Jackson Lee

It is on this day
That NAFEO must say
Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee
Supported NAFEO along the way.

With NAFEO members
Congresswoman Lee would meet
To assist with legislative initiatives
NAFEO needed to defeat.

It is now
That NAFEO stands to salute
To give Congresswoman Lee
NAFEO’s Deepest Tribute.

Congresswoman Lee served NAFEO well
And the legislative history will tell.

As She transcends through the Heavenly Gate,
May Her Spirit be Greeted by the Stars
Because Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee
Assisted NAFEO with their legislative cause.

GOD BLESS – PEACE BE STILL
