A LITTLE GIRL'S HEART
"I must be crazy, I'm out of my mind," I say this every week before meeting time. Four will show up and eight will not call; I really don't know why I do this at all. We make plans for camp. Two nights and three days. It takes them an hour to choose grape Kool-Aid! Not worth it, I think. Do they care, I ask? It's just what I need, one more thankless task. Then one of them smiles and rolls out the dough. "My mother won't let me bake cookies, you know." We mop up the paint. And I hear from one, "Let's do it again I had so much fun." The first time away in tents in the rain One hugs me and says "I'm so glad I came." So when I feel low and ask myself "Why?" I try to picture the look in that eye. The grin on that face, that one homemade card - A leader's reward - A little girl's heart. Author Unknown |
