Fundraising Raising Remunerations for a Good Cause How many years I have toiled raising funds-- Telling many about the plight of this and that: A myriad of creatures, their habitats, and needy students who study them. How does one go out there and ask? What makes one wish or dare to do such? The Cause; -- of course the Cause. If chosen well, there is no shame, But rather joy that another sees what I see And feels what I feel and offers something towards the goal. If one strives for something positive And is able to bring another along, There is no shame, no reluctance, no hesitation. And in the end, I hear an angel gently crying "bravo"!
