More poems about Service.

BEING OF SERVICE
Even if you can only be of little service to another,
Help in small way our fellow sisters and each brother,
We ourselves grow more, find a latent idea or thought
Once buried, but now free new wealth to us brought.

Not money or riches or jewels bright and fair,
But treasures eternal, treasures divine, be aware
As we give to others of ourselves to any small degree
Will I know prepare us to be happy for eternity.

Serve whenever you can, serve while you may,
For there may come a time one extra special day,
When you will need service, receive it with grace,
Remember when you served , the joy on your face.
