    A MASTER MASONS POEM
(Author Unknown)

Last night I knelt where Hiram knelt  
And took an obligation  

Today, I’m closer to my God  
And I’m a Master Mason  
Though heretofore my fellow men  
Seemed each one like the other  
Today, I search each one apart  
I’m looking for “MY BROTHER”  
And as I feel his friendly grip  
It fills my heart with pride  
I know that while I’m on the square  
That he is on my side  
His footsteps on my errand go  

If I should such require  
His prayers will plead in my behalf  
If I should so desire  
My words are safe within his breast  
As though within my own  
His hand forever at my back  
To help me safely home  
Good counsel whisper in my ear  
And warns of any danger  
My square and compass, Brother now  
Who once would call me stranger  
I might have lived a normal life  
And risen to distinctions  
Without my brothers helping hand  
And fellowship of Masons  
But God who knows how hard it is  
To resist life’s temptations  
Knows why I knelt where Hiram knelt  
And took an obligation
