He always shines a special light
To everyone he meets
He loves to talk
And shake the hands
Of everyone he greets
He’s always optimistic
He’ll give you anything
On his hand he proudly wears a ring

I’d seen the emblem often
On signs in many towns
And you’ll see it on old tombstones
In graveyards all around
So I asked if he would tell me
Exactly what it means
He smiled and said
I’ll tell you about this ring

Chorus
It’s the way that I can tell the world
The kind of man I am
And I put my trust
In God Above
And for brotherhood I stand
It reminds me to be honest
To remember whence I came
I’m a man that you can count on
That’s why I wear this ring

So with shaking voice
I returned all my three degrees
And just before I saw the light
While bending on my knees
The room was all so silent
All at once I got to see
My eyes begin to focus on
Dad and my own ring

Chorus
Now it’s the way
That I will tell the world
The kind of man I am
That put my trust in God above
And for brotherhood I stand
It reminds me to be honest
To remember whence I came
I’ll be a man that you can count on
That’s why I wear this ring

Tonight I watched as my son
Returned his own E.A.

Trying to find a relative who was a Freemason?

We frequently get questions about finding relatives who may have been a Mason. Here are some points to remember when looking for a Masonic relative.

In general, local Lodges in Ohio do not keep records for deceased members.

The best way to see if there is a record is to contact the Grand Lodge of Ohio.
