Which Are You?

Thanks very much to Denice Crook, who e-mailed this reading to me!

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 flock
Or do you stay at home
And criticize and knock?

Do you take an active part
To help the work along,
Or are you satisfied to be
The kind that "just belong"?
Do you ever go to visit
A member who is sick?
Or leave the work to just a few
And talk about the clique?

There's quite a program scheduled
That I'm sure you've heard about,
And we'll appreciate it if you, too
Will come and help us out.
So come to meetings often
And help us with hand and heart,
Don't be just a member
But take an active part.

Think this over, member,
You know right from wrong;
Are you an active member,
Or do you just belong?
