If you've wondered what an impression you make as a volunteer, here is a poem written by my friend who is 88 years old and a resident in a nursing home...she is an inspiration to many!

Volunteer

The day you came into my life,

when I was sad and full of strife,

you brought great happiness to me

that's plain for everyone to see.

And I think when you were born

that Gabriel must have blown his horn

and declared for everyone to hear

that from the moment of your birth

you'd be an angel here on earth.

And here you are so good and true

always there when I'm needing you.

Your very kind and thoughtful ways

fill my heart with song and praise.

Your generosity knows no bounds.

And I love to hear the welcome sounds

of your knock upon my door

for the time we spend together

is worth a rich man's treasure

and you seem to find your way

no matter what the weather.

So you really are my guardian angel

sent from heaven to earth.

And I'm hoping God will let you stay awhile

so as the years go by,

with your lovely winning smile,

you can bring your love and friendship

to others mortals such as I.
