Deep within me
Deep within my soul
I hold a passion that no one else understands
A passion to render help
To people who did not solicit for it
And to some others in dire need of me
**********
How happy I feel to see the smiles on their faces
When I listen to their pathetic stories
The hurt and pain they have been through
And the lonesome feeling of separation
From families and loved ones
A moment with these Refugees
Became a time well spent
***********
I volunteer to help anyone
As my inner spirit leads me
And it did lead me to the elderly in my city
To be in their midst once every week
Together with other volunteers
We cook and eat together
Every visit to the elderly people’s home
Leaves me fulfilled and happier
**********
To listen to them as they share their pains and sorrows
To go on occasional walk with them
To visit and keep them company
To cheer them up
Became a craving
A strong desire
**********
Thus I create the time
‘Cos I love it so
To share a moment with them
To talk and listen to their heart aches
Became a source of joy to me
Became a passion I cherish
Perhaps, it’s innate in me
To help lessen the burden of others
So I pledged to give my time
For the sake of love
For humanity
To render help without a fee
To volunteer
Without any charges

Peace and Love!
