Creighton University Poem

*Creighton University*

Stand beside the Bluejays in the beeches from Heaven,
&
Do not be too eager to flee into the forest—
Not until you are prepared to lead.
Creighton University is a dwelling for leaders like Alpha Sigma Nu who through service are committed to expanding a habitat for humanity.
It is in this youth that Jays are most apt to migrate in their hours of strength from the waters that feed wisdom of headship to baby blues who through passage can see to the helm of a leader’s ship.
It takes a strong will to live to lead; and a Creighton spirit to be willing to lead.
When in the oaks & beeches with a Creighton Bluejay,
And he takes through the pine woods and plants an extraordinary seed…
We do not want you to follow behind him,
We want you to
Follow his lead.
