Volunteering (A.R.K. Is the Word)
A hug, a smile, or a simple “hello”
Is all it takes to change someone’s life you know?
Who knows if they were having a terrible day?
And you have given hope in the midst of bleak and gray.
Volunteering can be such a great gift
For both parties involved get a free effective face-lift! (smile)
A humbling experience all-in-all
To see that through struggles they keep standing tall;
And as much as we give, we learn and get so much more
Giving hope, sharing compassion, showing love and helping people soar.
Volunteering helps out those who are in need
By volunteering you give people hope, the tools to succeed.
To see someone suffering, it breaks my heart in two
And tired though when work is done, my strength it does renew.
I see at times the progress of those I call my own
Sometimes small others great; to see how they have grown!
To make a difference in the lives of people everywhere
Every kind act whether great or small shows the world that you care
Go ahead! Dare! To give a hand, or lend an ear,
A shoulder to lean on; have no fear!
If we care for one another how do we express?
By an Act of Random Kindness, but I digress.
Whatever good you do, do it with love and joy in your heart…
For like “Evan Almighty” we are each called to build an A.R.K.
Smile and do something kind for one person today
:)
