Harmony’s Call: A Day of Charity

On International Day of Charity, 5 September, let our voices rise, United in purpose, hearts open and wise. Charity, volunteerism, philanthropy’s embrace, Creating bonds, building inclusive space.

Through acts of kindness, societies thrive, In people, planet, prosperity, peace we strive. From health care to education, housing to child’s care, Charity fills the gaps, humanity’s repair.

Advancing culture, science, sports, and more, Protecting heritage, a legacy to adore. Rights of the marginalized, underprivileged to defend, Spreading the message of humanity, to every bend.

In this tapestry of charity, six areas we weave, People, planet, prosperity, peace, partnership to believe. Mitigating barriers, fostering equity’s reach, For those deserving, naturalized green spaces teach.

Persons with disabilities, their spirit unbound, Indigenous peoples, their heritage profound. Racialized groups, LGBTQI2S+ communities stand, Immigrants, refugees, newcomers, holding hands.

English as an Additional Language, bridging the divide, Low-income households, in their corner we reside. Youth and seniors, their stories unfold, Persons living with mental illness, we embrace, uphold.

Victims of violence, strength we’ll ignite, Persons with low literacy, knowledge we’ll invite. In forests, nature’s embrace, wellness blooms, Physical and mental health benefits, nature assumes.

Let’s turn 192 hectares, 474 acres, into a haven, A welcoming greenspace, for all, we’ll engraven. Species at risk, like the Red-Berried Elder’s plight, Imperiled, in need of protection, our guiding light.

Green Skills for Youth, towards a sustainable realm, Empowering tomorrow’s leaders, at the helm. Preserving cultural and natural heritage’s grace, Richard St. Barbe Baker’s legacy we embrace.

B.T. Chappell, Bruce Gordon, and Genereux’s name, The Old Bone Trail’s tales, honor their fame. The Green Survival Program, the Green Belt’s reign, Man-made forests, Yorath Island’s glacial spillway’s gain.

Through the Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas, Cultural heritage’s protection, a mission we bear. Richard St. Barbe Baker’s message, forever alive, With harmony’s call, together we thrive.

On International Day of Charity, let’s unite, For a world where love and compassion ignite. In charity’s embrace, let’s extend our hand, For a future where charity’s legacy shall forever stand.
