Today is filled with services for a member of the Monroe County Republican Party this member Patti Braden was a dedicated individual as well as a pillar of Monroe, Michigan her accolades were endless. I had the pleasure of knowning her & that we shared a connection between fraternities & sororities. As I am a Mason of Monroe Lodge 27 F&AM she was a Michigan Jobs Daughters she sent me a card once about how proud she was I became a Mason, as well that her dad was a mason. In this sense I have lost a sister since we have an obligation to watch after each other. Besides this my day is filled with going to Perrysburg, Ohio to watch Jason Maynard go through his Fellowcraft degree Phoenix Masonic Lodge #123 As they say it's a BUSY DAY! I shall be going with Carlos Gene Campbell Joseph Yuhas & maybe Kenny Sandiefer 😉 Let's trot the horses shalt we! Patti this poem is foi thou! An old man going a lone highway, Came, at the evening cold and gray, To a chasm vast and deep and wide. Through which was flowing a sullen tide The old man crossed in the twilight dim, The sullen stream had no fear for him; But he turned when safe on the other side And built a bridge to span the tide. “Old man,” said a fellow pilgrim near, “You are wasting your strength with building here; Your journey will end with the ending day, You never again will pass this way; You’ve crossed the chasm, deep and wide, Why build this bridge at evening tide?” The builder lifted his old gray head; “Good friend, in the path I have come,” he said, “There followed after me to-day A youth whose feet must pass this way. This chasm that has been as naught to me To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be; He, too, must cross in the twilight dim; Good friend, I am building this bridge for him!”
