 Do you just belong?

 

Are you an active member, The kind that would be missed

Or are you just contented, That your name is on the list?

Do you attend the meetings, And mingle with the crowd

Or do stay at home, And crab both long and loud?

Do you take an active part, To help the Club along,

Or are you satisfied to be the kind that “just belong?”

 

Do you ever go and visit a member who is sick,

Or leave the work for just a few, and talk about the clinique?

There is quite a program scheduled, that means success, if done,

And it can be accomplished, with the help of everyone,

So attend the meetings regularly, and help with hand and heart.

Don’t just be a member, But take an active part,

 

Think this over, Member, Are we right or wrong?

Are you an active member? Or ----do you JUST BELONG?

 

Thanks to Gord Ferguson for sharing.
