Why I Volunteer

It's not for money, not for fame.
It's not for any personal gain.
It's just for love of fellow man.
It's just to lend a helping hand.
It's just to give a bit of self.
That's something you can't buy with wealth.
It's not for medals won with pride
It's just for that felling deep in side.
It's that reward deep in your hear.
It's why I volunteer, an why all should start!
