Why I Volunteer At Meals On Wheels

Why I Volunteer at Meals on Wheels Why I volunteer at Meals on Wheels, I do it to help people receive meals. I had to get a photo id This is for the people’s safety At first I thought of it as just something to do After that first day I realized that wasn’t true I deliver a meal to the elderly and I do it with care Some of the elderly may be in a wheelchair The hot food is carried in a hot insulated bag The cold food is carried in a cold insulated bag It’s a good feeling to volunteer The people appreciate that we care I knock at the door and yell hello I also check on them before I go A stranger had said to me, thank you She was thanking me for what I do It’s a good feeling to volunteer This is something we Americans do to show we care

Great to read of someone who does this for the elderly and shut-in who need this service to survive outside a nursing home...I hope that you will be able to do this for others for a very long time..In answer to your question, a Senryu is the same as Haiku but Senryu is about human beings and Haiku is about nature..There is more of an explanation on the left bottom under the title resourses_Forms of poetry...Sara

This is wonderful, Michael. Something to be very proud of, you know? Just a few hours given means a lot to the elderly. And thanks for commenting on mine. Hope you're doing well. Peace, Audrey
