for Terrie
by Jamie-lee (no login)I suck at writing poems but i wanted to find one for you that could speak of what you do, kinda like a poem for you from me and a reckon everyone who comes here would agree with me too. This is kind of hard to put into words but what you do here like how you created this place in the beggining, and always from what i see help others and encourage people like you do, i think that is awesome. Well i could only find one poem that seemed good enough, its not quite what i was after but it is about volunteers and in a way that is what you are, apart from being a survivor yourself. Here it is.....
A Volunteer Appreciation Poem
What is a Volunteer?
A volunteer is someone who:
Used to have a little time to spare.
Saw something that needed to be done, and couldn't persuade his conscience to let someone else do it.
Cheerfully endures inroads on her own work and convenience because she is beckoned by an overshadowing goal.
Is young at heart because youth comes, not from a fountain, but from exposure to those who have it.
Gives to fill inner needs, be it with hamburgers, hugs or encouragement.
Has a pet conservation project: our young people, because he considers them to be our greatest natural resource.
Sees the beauty in the budding personality of a child and wants to preserve and enhance it as it comes to full bloom.
Is willing to give of her time, patience, and herself to leave the world better than she found it.
Is the living fulfillment of the phrase "...to help where I am needed."
I think you rock and hope ya have a happy Easter
