Brethern:
Did you take the time today
To smile at someone on your way?
Did you take the time to stop and talk
To someone on your daily walk?
Did you take the time
To give someone a helping hand and
Whisper that you understand?
Did you take the time to say, ―You look so nice‖
Or pause to offer sound advice?
Did you take the time
To praise a job well-done?
To just say ―thank you‖ to anyone?
Did you take the time
To listen to someone‖ woes,
Or hold their hand when problems pose?
If you took the time today to do just one,
The healing of this world will have begun!
And you will know that you are living
The light that our craft is giving.
And not just going through the motion
But showing our craft your full devotion.
Your most humble and obedient servant,
George W. Niessner
Worshipful Master
