The Army of Salvation - a Poem
Last week my colleagues and I had visited the local Salvation Army as volunteers. The poem below is written for that occasion. If you would like to donate, check the following site: http://www.salvationarmy.ca/tag/donations/

We,
the BA and the QA team of heart
And
mind with analysis and quality
Took
proudly part in helping the army
Of
salvation in a day of winter chill
We
gathered in a soulful group of zeal
And
picked the toys, sorted in carts
Checked
out, hoping the bliss and joys
Will
find the hands of girls and boys
Bringing
the cheery season’s blessings
Into
the hearts of many in grim distress
These
are the days of giving
These
are the days of sharing
Twining
our meager existence
With
the ones fallen from the fortune
A staffy, a
set of miniature cars, crayon
And
coloring books, nifty festoon
Can
surely erase tears, bringing smile
In
mom, dad, children, melting the fortress
Of
misery, where love marches in style
