BY WILLIAM L. DAVIS
YES! I SEE YOU, STANDING THERE,
BODY ERECT, FEET UPON THE SQUARE,
THE THINGS YOU SAY, I KNOW I'VE HEARD,
I'VE FELT YOUR GRIP, AND HEARD YOUR WORD.
THE SIGNS YOU GIVE, ARE TRUE TO FACT,
BUT ITS NOT WHAT YOU DO, IT'S HOW YOU ACT.
THE SYMBOLS WE USE, ARE TRUE TO LIFE,
THEY CARRY US THROUGH TROUBLE...TEMPTATION AND STRIFE.
THE COMMON GAVEL, IS A TOOL YOU SAY,
WELL THE LESSON IT TEACHES... IS HOW TO PRAY
ON YOUR KNEES, AND FACING THE EAST,
SEARCHING YOUR HEART, FOR INNER PEACE.
AN OBLIGATION... YOU TOOK IN THE DARK,
TEACHES VALUABLE LESSONS, TO THE PURE IN HEART.
THE TROWEL IS USED, TO SPREAD THE LOVE,
GIVEN TO US, BY OUR FATHER ABOVE.
THE LESSONS IS THERE, FOR ALL TO LEARN,
IF YOU FLUNK THE TEST, YOU'LL SURLY BURN.
BEING A MASON, IS MORE THAN A RING,
IT'S BEING FAITHFUL, TO OUR HEAVENLY KING.
IN HIM IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE.
HE LIFTS OUR BURDEN, AND REMOVES OUR STRIFE.
BEING A MASON, IS SO EASY TO DO,
JUST LISTEN TO THE THINGS, I'VE EXPLAINED TO YOU.
BUT UNTIL THEN, I CAN ONLY ASSUME...
THAT YOU ARE A MASON... I PRESUME
