Volunteering seems so easy to do,
But I've come to
find this is fare from true.
With so many
people in need of aid,
I thought for sure
I'd be quickly okay-ed.
But once I sent in
my application,
There seemed to
arrive a complication.
I waited and
waited but got no call,
And when I called
no one answered at all.
I tried so many
different days and times
Even three or four
times a day sometimes.
And now I started
to feel dejected,
Thinking for sure
I had been rejected.
But then I got
some really good advice,
That I should now
try another device.
And what could it
hurt to try something new,
When I
didn't know what else I could do?
So I decided to
send an email,
Thinking that it
couldn't possibly fail.
While a phone call
can be easily missed,
Emails can't so
easily be dismissed.
They sit in an
inbox and calmly wait,
Doesn't matter if it’s
early or late.
Now I waited to get a response back,
And when it came I was right back on track.
An appointment was scheduled quickly,
And the excitement made me feel sickly.
I couldn’t wait to go and volunteer,
Although it left me with some nervous fear.
My phone tag problem was easily solved,
When a simple email became involved.
