A Feeling of Love and Peace

What would we do without volunteers?
Who do good works, some for years,
They serve others for love, not for pay
Showing care and compassion every day,
To the elderly and folk in need
A very excellent job, indeed.

A willingness to give their best,
It puts them in a class above the rest.
Of us that don't show any care
And close hearts and minds to worries out there.
In a troubled world that we all share

Share what an explicit word that is
It means to share not, totally give,
Possessions that you love and covet
Understanding and loving all can deposit,
A feeling of love and peace
