On the busy corner, there stands a man,
He rings his bell, and shakes folks' hands;
To take the time, in service there,
Is an indication--- how much he cares.
While others of us go bustling by,
In and out of stores, still some gifts to buy,
He patiently smiles, with his bell in hand,
by the 'pot for funds' on the tripod stand.
With the honorable heart and dedication
Of the volunteers of that organization,
There's food and shelter--to be daily provided,
Among the needy, clothes and such, are divided
May we take the time, and slow our pace,
This is Christmas time, it is not a race;
For the first name of "Army Band" IS "Salvation"
May we give all we can to assist our nation!
Yes! and the ENTIRE World!!
