Some friends aren't meant to be

Some friends aren't meant to be
You have to let them go
They always hurt your feelings
Respect they never show

A friend should not be told
Something confidential
Because you never know
They can become judgmental

A friend who is offensive
And won't apologize
You cannot reason with them
To reach a compromise

A dog can be your friend
They love to hear you talk
Waiting for those words
"How about a little walk"

Be your own best friend
Then no one can deceive
No one can betray you
And that you can believe

Volunteers

Volunteers are priceless

They’re needed everyday

Donating their time

Without asking for pay

Coaching kid’s sports

And scouting troops

Plus countless civic

And social groups

Because of their efforts

And money they raise

For churches, museums

Deserving our praise

There's so many places
That can use helpers
At food pantries
And animal shelters

With meals on wheels
Or as your tour guide
Great services
You would be denied

Those smiles they bring
To so many faces
With hospital visits
And classroom places

And volunteering

Will help fill their day

When they are retired

And don’t need the pay

They put out fires
These brave volunteers
Whenever they're needed
Without any fears
