From The Outside

Looking back on my volunteer career
(ignoring the fact that I just put 2
eer words in sequence)
I think SCORE might have been my most meaningful job.
SCORE was designed to offer free assistance
To small business folks
Good people, lots of challenges, good results ...overall.
Buried friends, and retained a few.
It’s 10 years since I retired
And now I’m told I rejected would-be friends.
I can easily dismiss the suggestion but
I will retain a curiosity.
Did the teller of this unhappy news
Find me wanting?
Whether for love or money, did I
Look upon staff or associates as less,

Not my equal?
