Many will be shocked to find

When the day of judgement nears

That there's a special place in heaven

Set aside for volunteers.

Furnished with big recliners,

Satin couches and footstools,

Where there's no committee chairman,

No eager team that needs a coach,

No bazaar and no bake sale.

There will be nothing to staple,

Not one thing to fold or mail.

Telephone lists will be outlawed,

But a finger snap will bring

Cool drinks and gourmet dinners,

And rare treats fit for a king.

You ask, "Who'll serve these privileged few

And work for all their worth?'

Why, all those reaped the benefits

And not once volunteered on earth.

 A TRIBUTE TO

GEORGE KALINA

WHEREVER YOU ARE GEORGE

THIS WAS WRITTEN FOR YOU

"I am of the opinion

that my life belongs

to the whole community,

and as long as I live

it is my privilege to do for it

whatever I can.

I want to be thoroughly used up

when I die, for the harder I work

the more I live.

I rejoice in life for its own sake.

Life is no brief candle to me.

It is a sort of splendid torch

which I've got hold of

for the moment

and I want to make it burn

as brightly as possible

before handing it

on to future generations."
