By Jay Cole Simse Why Members Leave Did you make him feel welcome? Did you hold out your hand? Did you listen to his troubles? With him, did you stand? Are the secrets which you shared Ones that will keep him coming back? Or are they merely empty forms And its brotherhood they lack? Was there something for him to find Here among his Brothers and friends? Or did he look in vain For those on whom he could depend? Was this a place for him to shine To be with others of his kind? With true fellows of the craft, Was that there for him to find? If all these things are here Nothing will keep him away. If not, I doubt that anyone Can persuade him to stay.
