Silent Acknowledgement
« on: August 19, 2005, 03:41:22 PM »
I'll Show You A Volunteer
 
Show me a person who spends endless hours in training w/o pay, And, I'll show you a volunteer.

Show me a person where a cry for help brings split-second dispatch, And, I'll show you a volunteer.

Show me a person who is devastated when lives are lost or maimed, And, I'll show you a volunteer.

Show me a person who is graciously welcomed as a next-door neighbor, And, I'll show you a volunteer.

Show me a person who often takes more ridicule than compliments, And, I'll show you a volunteer.

Show me a person whose car is garaged w/ the grille facing out, And, I'll show you a volunteer.

Show me a person who sacrifices home life, T.V....even tender moments, And, I'll show you a volunteer.

Show me a person who may be asked to give more than just dedication, And, I'll show you a volunteer.

Show me a person who is asked to give more... and more... and more, And, I'll show you a volunteer.
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the ability to control it.
