To volunteer your time is the request
To spend time saving the lives of others
Be a volunteer “why me” is the sound that goes through your head
How can I make a difference in another’s life?
What can one person do that would cause a monumental change
Be a volunteer you are urged and you will see the change you make
Small or larger the change is there and you see it in the first day you are there
When that person smiles, laughs or votes for the first time
The “why me” attitude changes to how can I get another to see what I see
Your life changes and you look at the world with a new understanding
Comprehension comes slowly like an awaking of the dawn each day
As night falls, you are glad you made the choice to volunteer
It is a choice we all make in time to serve others or ourselves
You made the choice to serve our country
To volunteer is the request you now make to others
See what I have learned and how much I have grown
Thank you to the volunteers in my life as I was growing up
From teachers to scouts to friends – you volunteered your time to me
The least I can do is repay the favor by continuing the tradition and giving my time
To serve this country we love so dear – you will not be forgotten as long as I am here
*For my dad and all that serve or have served in the armed forces*
