Be An Active Member

Be an active member,
The kind that would be missed:
Don't be just contented
That your name is on the list.
Do attend the meetings
And mingle with the crowd:
Don't stay at home
And crab both long and loud.
Do take an active part
To help the lodge along.
And take time out to visit
A member who is sick.
Don't leave the work for just a few
And gripe about the clique
There is quite a program scheduled
That means success if done,
And it can be accomplished
With the help of everyone.
So Attend the meetings regularly
And help with hand and heart,
Be an active member
And take an active part.
Think this over, Member
Are we Right or are we Wrong?
Be an Active Member
Don't just belong

Poem to a Priest I met

The square beneath me
and on my breast
the Son before me
on my mind
in my heart
a friend across from me
a brother with me
a scotch beside me
(and inside me)
candidate's behind me
- but for a time -
for we are on the level
by the plumb
and on the square.
