Here I am again….
And it touches my heart,
To know all of you 
And to be a part
Of a place where people care
A place where people make a difference
A place where people share.

You see I work in a place where sharing is important
That place that is dear to my heart
And each day I do share, each day I do care
But there is no way I can do my part,
Without help, I need help.

And as I look around this room,
There it is, there you are, 
Standing in front of me here.
You gave of your own
So I can pass it along
To people you don’t even know.

People you’ve never meet 
Faces you’ll never see,
But give none the less, you do.
I need you to know,
I need to show
You how important your giving is.

I get to see those faces
I get to see the smiles
I get to see the difference that you make.
You are incredible
You are generous
So occasionally I bake you cake
That’s so small in comparison to the goodness you do
The awesome difference that you do make
