Girl Scout Leader's Poem

Thanks to Sandy Keeney, who posted this poem to the WAGGGS-L Mailing List!

My dishes went unwashed today

I didn't make the bed

I took her hand and went with her

To Girl Scouts instead.

That my house was neglected

That I didn't sweep the stairs

In twenty years no one on earth

Will know or even care.

But that I helped a little girl

From child to adulthood grow

In twenty years, the whole wide world

Will look and see and know.
