Volunteer Poems

What Are Volunteers?
Volunteers are like Ford......they have better ideas.
Volunteers are like Coke.....they're the real thing.
Volunteers are like Pepsi.....they've got a lot to give.
Volunteers are like Dial.....they care more, don't you wish everyone did.
Volunteers are like VO5 Hair Spray.....they hold in all kinds of weather.
Volunteers are like Hallmark.....they care enough to give the very best.
Volunteers are like Standard Oil....you expect more and you get it.
But most of all, Volunteers are like Frosted Flakes.....
THEY'RE GRRREAAT!!!!!


I'll Show You a Volunteer
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 often takes more ridicule than complaints,
And, I'll show you a volunteer.

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

Show me a person who sacrifices home life, TV...even tender moments,
And, I'll show you a volunteer.

Show me a person visibly moved at the strains of our National Anthem,
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.


The Volunteer is one with a heart so sincere.
No task too large, no task too small,
Who will help with anything at all.

Who will be there in the morning light,
Or help in the dark of night.

The Volunteer, our extra hand,
On whose future our Children Stand.

Never anyone so dear as a Volunteer !

Because You're Special
-- Author Unknown

We sometimes take for granted
In the rush of all we do,
And forget to say a special thanks
To volunteers like you!

So we send this note to tell you
How much all you do means,
Your gifts of time and of yourself
Are special ones indeed.


Poem
A school is more than books and desks
And learning two plus two
It's people who share their skills and care,
And try their best in all they do.
Please accept our heartfelt appreciation.
Our school's a better place
Because of your dedication.
