My workplace
Is full of warmth
Full of laughter
Full of hope, and healing
I work on a befriending phone line
I call my clients daily
To check in with them
To see how their day is going
I hear amazing stories
Of great courage, strength
I also hear stories of love, loss
Sadness, and loneliness
I am inspired each day
By all of the clients I befriend
I know they depend on me
As some of them see no one else
Some of them have no family
Nobody to laugh with them
Or hug them
Wish them a good day
See how they are
Are they ok.
Yes my workplace
I love and I would
Not trade it for anything.
And I’d encourage everyone
Volunteer
Even though you don’t get a physical pay check
It will bring you much joy
And you’ll rethink your life if you do.
