Poems about volunteers
Why Be A Volunteer
-author unknown
It's not for fortune
It's not for fame
It's not for only personal gain
It's not for love of fellowman
Or just to lend a helping hand
It's not for medals worn with pride
It's for the feeling deep inside
Of helping others far and near
That makes you want to volunteer!
Through Your Eyes
-by Karen Shepard
Through your eyes,
People see things they have never seen.
Through your words,
People hear things they have never heard.
Through your spirit,
People are taken on a journey of discovery.
Take your own journey,
Become a volunteer!
Volunteers

These are the ones who give so much
To soothe our fears with a tender touch.
They arrive each week with a smile so dear
And help to wipe away the most awful fear.
They come in all colors, shapes and ages
And give of their time without any wages.
Each has a talent they are willing to share
With families who know how much they care.
They come in all weather, rain or shine,
To work at the House from nine to nine.
From answering phones to mopping floors,
They find great joy in doing chores.
We are very lucky, there is no doubt,
For Volunteers we can't do without.
To each one we'd like to say
Thanks for putting sunshine in each day.
Valuable Is the Work You Do
-author unknown
Valuable is the work you do.
Outstanding is how you always come through.
Loyal, sincere and full of good cheer,
Untiring in your efforts throughout the year….
Notable are the contributions you make.
Trustworthy in every project you take.
Eager to reach your every goal.
Effective in the way you fulfill your role.
Ready with a smile like a shining star,
Special and wonderful-that's what you are.
