Hospice Volunteers Make The Difference
I'm involved in volunteer work
It's very rewarding 'tis true
Helping people is what it's all about
There are a whole lot of things to do
To give people comfort to the end
And take some of the pain away
To help them in every aspect of their life
Up until the very last day
To see all of the other volunteers
Is very inspiring to me
To watch them go about their work
Is something everyone needs to see
I plan to volunteer forever
And work like a metronome
Then I can hear the words "well done"
when Jesus calls me home
