Volunteers show up when it would be easier to stay home. They give their time, their skills, and their attention, often without being noticed. They lift a load for someone else, and they do it with care. If you have ever been helped by a volunteer, you know it is not just the task that matters, it is the kindness behind it. These poems are here to help you say thank you in a simple and meaningful way.

Impacts many people's day.

If no one cared about others,
If no one showed kindness,
If no one realized we are all sisters and brothers,
What a terrible world this would be.

Recognizing you and saying thank you,
Just doesn't seem enough
We look at you and all you do,
You do a lot of stuff.
Don't think that we don't see
The work you do, and your caring ways,
How you give to others
And brighten everyone's day.
From the bottom of our heart
We say Thank You for everything
But mostly for the happiness to others
That you always bring.
A volunteer is one who gives
their time and their heart
To others whose world
seems to be falling apart.
You fit that bill and
for that we are grateful
For all you do and
for your goodwill.
We say thank you
and much love
We know you were
sent from God above.
May you be blessed by your goodness
coming back to you
A volunteer like you is
a blessing, in our view!

A volunteer, they give with glee,
Unselfishly and without a fee.

Shoulder burdens they did not bore.

For all that they do willingly.
In a world where "me" takes the lead,
You shine bright with your selfless deeds.
Your care for others, steadfast and true,
Radiating patience in all you do.
Wisdom shared with kindness and grace,
A heart filled with compassion's embrace.
Thank you for all, may your blessings accrue,
God's light shining down, always on you.
