Volunteerism
by Elmer R. Esplana, November 1, 2007

Volunteerism  is what  we need today;
Volunteerism to express our  basic human rights;
Volunteerism to express  our  civil responsibility;
Volunteerism  to  participate actively
      in  the lives of other people.

Volunteerism is what God's people can offer;
Volunteerism that becomes supplementary;
Volunteerism that becomes alternative;
Volunteerism that fills the gaps  of
      both government and for-profit sector.

Volunteerism is the reason "I thank you";
Volunteerism that touches the hearts of His people;
Volunteerism that shares victory and hardship;
Volunteerism that edify friends, officemates,
     acquintances, and loved ones.

Volunteerism is my challenge to everyone;
Volunteerism that will mold our values;
Volunteerism that will improve our quality;
Volunteerism that will benefit the lives
     of our community and our countrymen;

Volunteerism should be our common goal;
Volunteerism that is capable to reach out to our brethren;
Volunteerism that is capable of reaching out to the unsaved;
Volunteerism that will advance the Kingdom of God
     in our own country and the whole world.
