Valentines Poem Competition Winner
Let’s celebrate this valentine, It’s a day not yours or mine.
You see this may seem rather odd, But for me I’m married to the job.
It’s not a job it’s a vocation, Each day or night a new location. My husband I don’t often see, As much as my JCC family.
Sometimes care can be quite tough, But there are always diamonds in the rough. Our clients for whom we all do our best, Always aiming higher than the rest.
Times like these to be aware, For all of those for whom we care. There is always room to find, Time and space to just be kind.
I love my role and all I do, Including each and every one of you. Hope you have a fabulous day,
And lots of good things come your way
Congratulations to Pippa for her amazing poem which was selected as the winner from all the entries that we had by one of the people who uses our services.
