 Masonic quotes by Brothers

THE APRON

by Milford Shields

I took an apron from the pile of white
And tied it on to sit in Lodge one night.
As I sat there I felt a warming glow
About the apron and I looked and lo-
The other brethren who had worn it there
Were gathered 'round in mystic meeting rare.

We shared with each the blessings of the years,
The dreams, successes, hopes and joyous tears;
Then we grew humble in each other's loss,
In full compassion shared each brother's cross;
Our hearts were one in that most holy place,
Our spirits fused in God's Masonic grace.

We looked upon the apron's perfect white,
We were all wearing it that mystic night.
We saw that it was large enough to fit
The whole wide world, for God had fashioned it.
