The Volunteers Poem by Loyd C Taylor Sr

The Volunteers

Rating: 5.0


There are some special people that we know
Found in needy places across this land;
They're people that selflessly serve others,
Always ready to lend a helping hand.

We may know them by their many titles:
Chief bottle washer to soup kitchen cook;
They may be young or old, male or female;
In serving others, each has found a nook.

Kind-hearted helpers, tireless volunteers,
Who lend a hand in every capacity.
They seek no earthly reward, no fanfare;
Give help, no matter the adversity.

Here's to all of the wonderful people
Who unselfishly have chosen to serve,
May these words offer some recognition,
And give the praise which they rightly deserve.
