A poem about my last adventure as a girl scout. Dedicated to the one who took us- Glenda.

Once upon a time,

Not too long ago,

Lived Glenda the Good Witch

Who was well known.

She had two daughters

Who she loved so

She taught them the secret

Of love, happiness, and all there is to know. 

Then a group of young girls

Who had no leader from whom

They could learn

Now deeply desired

Now deeply yearned

For a leader like Glenda

To teach them all she knew

About the secret of

Love, happiness, and friendship, too. 

When they asked her,

She looked into each pair of eyes

And said yes she would teach them

And to their surprise

She kept that promise

And it wasn’t long before

They loved what Glenda taught them

More and more.

 

She took them to places

Of magic and love

To do many things they’d only

Dreamed of.

They saw the big castle

Where the founder Daisy and her family grew old

That was filled with wonders and stories

And a ghost, or so they were told.

 

They went on a walk

 In hopes of seeing some ghouls

And were told tales of people

Whose fates’ were cruel.

Those girls screamed and cried

But they had so much fun,

And then the next day,

They soaked up some sun.

 

They got to see dolphins

Swim in the magical sea.

And they even met

An evil monkey.

 

Then one day

They decided to show the community

Just what they could do.

So with Glenda’s help

They set out

To help the community

With no doubt.

With help from each other

And a few extra hands,

They touched lives

Throughout the land.

 

Some of those girls came and went

But felt that time with Glenda

Was time well spent

For she showed them

Things they never knew

By doing things

They never thought to do.

She showed them love

And she showed them she cared

Just by being someone who’s there.

 

They can now grow up

With the secrets they learned

Form the leader they once desired,

Once yearned.

They can go into the world

With the kindness and love

Shown to them by someone who

Was sent from above.

 

Thank you, Glenda

For all you have done

For the lessons you taught

And for the passion that’s begun

In the hearts of these girls and even me.

And after all these years,

We finally see

That if it wasn’t for your

Love and strife,

We would never know

Just what to do in life.
