I have a GREAT appreciation for all volunteers but every so often, take a break. It cures everything.
Raise Your Hand Syndrome
That nervous tic in your DNA, that makes you raise your hand.
You volunteer beyond anything that your family can understand.
Who was I supposed to call and what was I supposed to ask?
Tell me please, why did I really volunteer for this task?
The program is over and you’re putting chairs away.
Remind me, who was ordering the catering tray?
Maybe I should have used a different font for the invite.
Maybe the program should be on a different night.
Did I remember to ask someone to meet and greet?
And next year, who will sit in the chairman’s seat?
Can I get up at a meeting and know what to say?
And remember there are times, it’s not your day.
Please think, you and your honey could have been on the town.
If you could have exhibited control and kept your hand down.
