City of Fairfield Volunteer Appreciation Poem & Picture from the Luncheon

Service of Giving
            ___ Juanita J. Martin©2011

My conscience tugs the spirit,
to surrender my heart,
for love of community.

It is not glory or money that I seek;
service to others is my destiny.
My soul has the wealth of kings.

Words cannot describe my desire.
No temporal gain can satisfy,
nor replace inner peace.

It’s the sun piercing a cerulean sky,
music of an internal song,
the wings of compassion that carry me.

  1. Hi Juanita,

    I like your site, you have some interesting posts. My site www.myperfectpitch.com compliments yours, consisting of interesting articles from a published author, and a free writers yearbook with over 1000 book publishers currently accepting submissions. Keep up the good work.

    Regards, Brian

  2. Hey! :)

    We just launched Fairfield bookoo - it's a massive online yard sale for Fairfield and surrounding areas.- Thousands of people buying and selling used stuff from each other, in a fun, family-friendly way! :)

    We're getting the word out to some local bloggers, and would like to send you a free bookoo t-shirt (no strings attached!). If you would like a free t-shirt, will you send me an email at kellin@bookoo.com with your address and shirt size? I'll get it out to you right away!

    Check out the website:

    Thanks!
    Kellin
