Remember you're a mason

When the pressures of recession
Make us concentrate on greed,
Take heed, a worthy Mason
Cares about another's needs;
Don't let pressures of the moment
Make your obligation sway,
Stop and help a fallen brother
Or another by the way;
What you give is like a bubble
Whenever you assist,
What it costs in time and trouble
Is, soon after, never missed;
Brother, bear that obligation
You accepted on your knee,
It's in direct relation
To your own security;
Never hesitate, my brother
Square your actions now and say,
"I'll remember I'm a Mason,
"And behave like that today;"
"With regard to human kindness
And the 'Golden Rule', I pray,
I'll remember I'm a Mason...
And behave like that today."

Thank You Jason,
Being a relatively new MM, I am already seeing a need for this reminder in my lodge.
This should be typed out, laminated and given to every MM as they are raised.

I like that very much. I hope you don't mind I forwarded it to my Lodge's discussion group. In the spirit of this thread I wonder if you all have every heard The Masonic Ring by Howie Damron?
