VOLUNTEER'S CREED
From Chicken Soup for the Volunteer's Soul
Though my troubles and my worries
are sometimes all that I can see—
still I always must remember
life’s not only about me.
Other souls are also hurting
and I know that it’s God’s plan
to reach out to help another—
to extend to them my hand.
With this purpose as my focus—
to be a comfort to a friend—
all my troubles and my worries
seem to fade out in the end.
It is one of God’s true lessons—
how my walk is meant to be—
true happiness I find when
life’s not only about me.
