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."
