"THE APRON STRINGS"

THE THIRD DEGREE IN MASONRY,

BINDS TOGETHER EVERYTHING,

WE HAVE THE PERFECT EMBLEM,

WHEN THEY TIED THE APRON STRINGS.

IT IS A BEAUTIFUL BADGE OF HONOR,

WITH A STRONG SENSE OF PRIDE,

YOU WANT TO SHARE WITH THE WORLD,

WHEN THE APRON STRINGS WERE TIED.

WE ARE TAUGHT MASONIC VALUES,

AND SELDOM DONE IN HASTE,

THERES A FEELING OF ACCOMPLISHMENT,

WITH THE APRON ABOUT OUR WAIST.

BEFORE THE LODGE IS TILED,

OR THE TRIANGLE IS ALL LIT,

YOU WILL SEE ALL YOUR BROTHERS,

MAKING SURE THEIR APRONS FIT.

EVEN OUTSIDE THE LODGE,

YOUR APRON BECOMES A RING,

AND ALL YOUR FRATERNAL BROTHER.

CAN SEE YOUR APRON STRINGS,

WHEN I DON MY JEWELED FEZ,

IT'S AN EMBLEM OF ESTEEM,

IT REPRESENTS MY LEATHER APRON,

AND THE TASSLE MY APRON STRINGS.

I MAY GARNER MANY RICHES,

AND OWN THE FINEST THINGS,

BUT I'LL NEVER BE MORE AFLUENT,

THAN WHEN I TIED THE APRON STRINGS.
