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.
