The Cement

There’s usually, in every group,

And often evident,

One person who is not in charge,

But rather the cement.

 

The one who makes things happen

And who brings all factions in,

Assuring that each person’s there

And ready to begin.

 

The one the others turn to

When a problem might arise.

Who knows when someone’s out of line

And cuts her down to size.

 

It isn’t necessarily

The one with all the brains,

But someone with the people skills

To soothe disparate strains.

 

Without this member, groups would fade

In throes of discontent,

For gatherings won’t hold together

If there’s no cement.
