1. “The Giving Hand”
A hand that gives without a thought,
Can change the world, change the lot,
Of those who need it most of all,
The young, the old, the big or small.

Time is precious, that we know,
But giving it away, can help us grow,
In ways we never could have guessed,
Through volunteering, we become our best.

3. “The Purpose of Giving”
To give is not just for the show,
But for the purpose of letting go,
Of our needs and wants and fears,
And helping others through their tears.

Giving brings such happiness,
In ways we cannot truly express,
It fills us up and makes us whole,
And leaves us feeling oh so soulful.

Medium Poems

1. “Giving Back”

There’s a pleasure in giving back
A sense of joy that fills each crack
When we take time to lend a hand
We spread love throughout the land

From planting trees to feeding the poor
Each act of kindness, we can adore
The value of selflessness is clear
When we see others with a smile ear to ear

So let’s give our time, our heart, our soul
For in doing so, we can make the world whole
A little bit of effort, a little bit of care
Is all it takes to show we truly do care

2. “The Gift of Time”

Time is a precious commodity, it’s true
And giving it away is a wonderful thing to do
When we volunteer, we offer our time
To help those in need, we commit to the climb

From visiting elders to cleaning up the street
We give our time to make life a little sweeter
We offer our support to those at their worst
And in doing so, we quench our thirst

There’s something special in offering time
A sense of purpose, a feeling of sublime
We create a sense of community, of togetherness
And in doing so, we lessen life’s stress

So let’s give of ourselves, our time, our all
And show that kindness still reigns over all
The gift of time is a true treasure to hold
And in giving it away, we create stories to be told.

Long Poems

The Gift of Giving

When life feels bleak and dim
And everything seems a little grim
There’s something that can lift us up
And change our perspective, fill our cup

It’s not money, nor fame or glory
But something that’s free, yet so worthy
It’s giving ourselves, our time, our care
To those who need it, who might bear

A burden too heavy for one to hold
Or a feeling of isolation, untold
A simple act of kindness and love
Can bring the deepest peace from above

Volunteering is what I speak of
A gift that comes from purest love
From building homes to serving food
Or simply listening, a kind attitude

The joy that comes from giving back
Is something that cannot be kept in a sack
It grows inside of us, and spreads like wildfire
A light that shines bright, beyond any wire

So let us give our hearts away
And see the difference in just one day
For in every act of kindness we make
We build a world for goodness’ sake.

Embrace the Power of Volunteering

Volunteering, oh volunteering
What a noble and selfless act
A practice that brings warmth and hope
And helps society stay intact

It’s an act that knows no age
And needs no special skill
Just a heart that beats with compassion
And a desire to do good until

You will be amazed how much you give
And how little you get in return
Yet the joy and inner peace you feel
Is the most precious thing you can earn

There are those who need a hand
The dogs at the shelter who need a walk
The elders who need a visit
The kids who need someone to talk

Whatever your passion or your cause
There is a way for you to lend a hand
To make a difference in someone’s life
And help them prosper and expand

From the soup kitchen to the hospital
From the park to the courtroom
There is no limit to the places
Where your light can shine and bloom

You can be a mentor or a tutor
A coach or a buddy
You can clean up the beach or the forest
Or help rebuild a home that’s muddy

You can be a part of something greater
And feel the power of connection
You can share your talents and your wisdom
And learn from the diversity and reflection

Volunteering is not just a kindness
But a way to change the world
To break down the walls of apathy
And let the flag of humanity unfurled

So embrace the power of volunteering
And answer the call of your heart
You’ll be amazed how much you can give
And how you can make a difference right from the start.
