The joy that builds inside when a child tries
The happiness of a moment of triumph.
Even the sadness to hear of a horrible situation
Happening with another life
To be scared inside when the safety of a child but on
The outside you calm to not cause panic.
Tearful moments when you receive a card with many
Misspellings but full of love.
To the proud moment when a child accomplish a task difficult to take on.
The blessings of being in a child’s life but also them being in yours.

I worked at a summer camp this summer and when I was reflecting back on how each of the children I had impacted me I decided to write this.
