Ode to a Girl Scout Leader
You, my friend, should be cast in gold for the
   things you’ve done that will never be told.
For the dinners delayed by Girl Scout meetings,
    for the friendly smiles and cheerful greetings.
For the badge requirements no one wanted to do,
    which you insisted were important, too.
For the meetings you led that went just as planned,
   with no one there to give you a hand.
For the calendars you sold and the cookies you ate…
   for the toilets dug, meals cooked on a grate….
For the one more girl you absorbed in the troop,
   because she wanted to be in your group.
Tell me again how you lost your voice,
   was camping in winter really your choice?
And wasn’t that you I saw shopping downtown,
   trying to keep up with twelve little clowns?
“Why do you do it?” you’re probably asked,
   “Who forced you to take on this year round task?’
Those innocent young faces really tell it all,
   and that’s why we’re hoping to see you next fall.
When you were made, they broke the mold.
   if you’re ever re-cast – it will be in Gold!!!
