The Secretaries of all daughter Lodges

Dear Sir and W.Bro.,

 

Please refer to our circular No.18113 dated April 18, 2007 regarding reading of paper on Masonic Education. I am now enclosing a Poem for all masons "I'm The Guy" to be read at your next meeting. Please include an agenda item in this regard in the summons of the meeting at which this will be read.

With greetings,

 

 
 
A POEM FOR ALL MASONS: "I'M THE GUY"

The following poem captures a very important theme and creates in our hearts a sense of emotion. It reminds us that sometimes the obvious is often the most misunderstood.

If all brethren were to remember this passage whenever they go to a lodge, it will most definitely help in strengthening our fraternity.

I'm The Guy

I'm the guy.
I'm the guy who joined our organization.
I'm the guy who paid dues to join.
I'm the guy who stood up in front of all of you and promised to be faithful and loyal.

I'm the guy who came to your meetings and no one paid any attention to.

I tried several times to be friendly to some of the fellows, but they all had their own buddies to sit next to.
e I sat down several times but no one paid any attention to me.

I hoped very much, that somebody would have asked me to take part in something but nobody noticed when I volunteered.

I missed a few meetifigs after joining because I was sick and couldn't be there. No one asked me, at the next meeting, where I'd qeen. I guess it didn't matter.
It didn't matter very much to others whether I was there or not.

The next meeting! decided to stay at home and watch television.
The following meeting I attended but no one asked, where I was when the last meeting was held.

c You might say I'm a good guy, a good family man who holds a responsible job, who loves his community and his country.
You know who else I am? I'm the guy who never came back.

It amuses one, when I think back, on how the officers and members were discussing why they were losing members. It amuses me to think that they spent so much time looking for new members . when I was there all the time.

All they needed to do, was to make me feel needed, and wanted, and welcome!!!
