You may be a doctor, a lawyer or poet,
A merchant, a tailor or priest,
A baker, a milkman, a teacher or sage,
You may be the greatest or least.

We all have our duties in life to do,
Whether easy or hard, they're there,
But when they are done you like to feel
That you are "ON THE SQUARE".

It is good to know you have done your best,
Helped someone along life's rough way,
Have shared your goods and given advice,
With never a thought about pay.

You have done your best, have done the good deed,
Because you saw the need was there,
And oh, the joy you felt within,
By acting "ON THE SQUARE. "

Whatever in life you would like to be,
Or whatever you think you are,
It's often what our friends will say

That either help us or mar.
And life becomes a more beautiful thing,
The flowers and birds seem more fair,
When people say as we pass by,
That fellow's "ON THE SQUARE."

Rt.Wor.Bro.Charles Fotheringham.
