A Higher Calling

There is no greater service,
…no higher calling from above,
Than to dedicate ones life,
…ones heart to the service of love.

To give unto others,
…as has been given unto you.
To discern the heart's whisper,
… "'Tis what I was born to do."

Such are the hearts,
…of these we honor here today.
Young adults of excellence,
…whose hearts pave the way,

Not only for better tomorrows,
…but for those here and now,
To uplift and inspire us all,
…do a better job somehow.

Young hearts that recognize,
…disability means not dismay.
That special needs people,
…are God's very special way,

Of granting us all,
…a distinct privilege to see,
The purity of such love, is love;
  …as love was meant to be.
