I am a Mason

I am a Mason
I look towards perfection


The working tools help me
to improve
to break off the rough edges
to divide my time
to learn how to serve


to grow as a man
and a citizen
and a friend.


I am not perfect,
but I try to keep perfection
as my goal


Masonry guides me there
my working tool - the trowel
spreads brotherly love and affection
between my Brothers and me
We are building together
God's Temple


A shining place for all mankind to see
We are Masons 
BUILDERS
that says it all.
