It's Time

A tribute to the San Diego chapter of SCORE

My first exposures to SCORE,
Over 20 years ago,
Was of people who cared
And laughed easily.

Whatever my contributions
I've received manifold rewards.
Friendships initiated under Reagan
Continue into Obama.

There is an ethos
That permeates the San Diego SCORE chapter
And leavens the egos:
Members leave yesterday's heroics at home.

Through SCORE I’ve been allowed
To participate in the dreams of many
And the efforts of some, more fortunate,
To build a bridge for those who would follow.

So many good people,
Including those with the misguided belief
That the Republican party is superior,
Have broken bread with me, and I am grateful.
