Samaritans Shop Poem by Richard Sockett

Smiling faces wait to greet you in this Aladdins cave
All are welcome to come and browse things kind people gave
Many hours are given freely by willing volunteers
All deserve a thankyou and maybe three cheers
Raising money for good causes makes you feel good
Imagine a world where being helpful is in everybody's blood
Thoughts turn to those who really need our help
All hope is gone for the ones who choose to end it all amongst the kelp
Nobody should go through life feeling so alone
Samaritans can help you, they are at the end of the phone

Support the work we do and buy things from the shop
Hope, love and understanding from us will never stop
Open ten til four, find us on Chapel Walk
Pop in and say hello, we always have time to talk
