AN ACTIVE MEMBER
I'd like to think as time goes by
that I'm the lucky one;
that I received my "piece of pie"
and my "place in the sun";
that I stood tall and met my call
and lived life's full demand;'
by doing right to each and all
with trust and helping hand.
That I was there in their despair
to comfort or console-
to ease the pain they came to bear
when miseries unfold.
Now I'm no saint nor preacher man,
but have my own desires,
to have a will to build good will,
to do what God inspires.
And I believe I pay my dues
for life's both joy and woe.
Each day I live I try to choose
the best ways that I know,
but in our chain of life we find
a missing link or two;
it may have been some fault of mine
or maybe one by you,
but either way I'm bound to try,
to dedicate my best,
to do what's right by God on high,
and He will do the rest!
William E. Hardison
