McRhon Banderlipe I
A Volunteer’s Heart
Felt very restless
Sitting idly at home
When my countrymen…
The people who fuelled my passion
Are embroiled in the same global battle
With not much weapons
​
But resilience and hope
That same resilience I have
To spare my time every day
Talking to strangers and who I’m writing
People whose hearts are waiting for opportunities
To open up
​
From anonymity
To familiarity
One by one
These strangers became a pillar for my cause
Sharing the same deeper purpose
​
To give back
To console
To reassure everyone
That everything will be alright
The journey may still be long
But together
​
We celebrate little victories
We send virtual hugs
We find comfort with each other when someone falls
We rejoice when we welcome new warriors
​
I have never been this confident of myself
And I know…
​
We have won…
and we will have…
​
One more day…
