A VOLUNTEER

I'll Show You A Volunteer
Poem by Foley

Show me a person who spends endless hours in training without 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 takes ridicule more than compliments,And, I'll show you a volunteer.

Show me a person who sacrifices homelife, TV... 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.
