An Ode to Service
The mere significance it has is overwhelming,
It holds a spot near and dear to my heart.
It is service.
Creating an atmosphere of caring and understanding.
Building a better community.
These statements may sound prepared,
But to me they hold sentiment.
I was stalled by an unknown idea.
I was awakened by a newfound love.
I was dreaming in color and now
I am serving.
It may seem trivial, to be unable to live without it,
But I have this privilege and I know it is my duty to use it.
I understand no one is calling me to use it,
I am calling on myself to be bigger than me.
Service is a brick in my never ending wall
Building a healthier community,
Building a richer life.
I hold it close to my heart.
It radiates into my soul.
Service is part of me.
I am service.
