An Unselfish Gift

(paraphrased stanzas from An Unselfish Gift by Gwen Mays)

 

She was doing fine as a public servant in the midst.

But she saw a need for her talents and just couldn’t resist.

Yes, she saw people in binds, who seemed to have no way out.

But she knew she had to  help. In this fact, she had no doubt.

Who else but Mrs. Jenkins would do things like that

What humble and unselfish acts!

Yes, this lady that I’m speaking about when I say kindhearted, true and bold.

When she decided to give herself in those glorious days of old.

On the campus of Jackson High, she boldly stood

In the church, the community, and every neighborhood.

The world received a precious gift the day she was born.

Just as Galilee received the same as they listened to her voice upon Sunday morn.

Yes, there are times when we all need a lift!

So, I ask you to stop, pause, and cherish the memories of

Thelma Wilson Jenkins,

 Unselfish Gift.
