Thank you each and every brother who came along, and for making my installation a memory l will cherish the rest of my life.
The numbers at the installing board, and those who stayed for dinner blew me away.
To my installing masters, Thank You both for putting me at ease, and making the entire day so perfect.
I will do my very best to repay the confidence the brethren have shown in me.
May freedom, harmony, and love.
Unite you in the grand design.
Beneath the omniscient eye above.
The glorious architect divine,That you may keep the unerring line,
Still rising by the plummets law,
Till order bright completely shine.
Shall be my prayer when far Awa.And you, farewell!! Whose merit’s claim,
Justly that highest badge to wear,
Heavens bless you, honoured noble name,
To masonry and Scotia dear.
A last request, permit me here.
When yearly ye assemble Awa
One round, I ask it with a tear.
To him, the bard that’s far Away.
