The Haiku Challenge Day #21 ~ Dedication


 feeding the hungry
a soup kitchen’s caring hearts
the hands of service

- 0 -


fighting through her pain
a college degree her dream
diploma received

- 0 -

putting hands to hope
a home built by volunteers
paying it forward

 There are many opportunities to volunteer. Check out the ones in your community. 
My oldest daughter fought illness to receive her college degree. It shows how the dedication to a dream can see it become a reality
