The Sacrifice Of a Lifetime

I wrote this for an English project at the begining of the year and just found it again, so I figured this was the best place to post it.


"The Sacrifice Of A Lifetime"

To walk those streets, to see those people
the ones that smile at me.
They smile not because they know who I am,
but because I'm white, you see.


To Haiti I am rich
A teenaged, tall, white girl.
Seeing those small children starve
sends my head into a whirl.


Those little kids are helpless,
the parents just the same.
I want so much to give them food,
to tell of His grand name.


On my trip to Haiti, I learned so much.
Saw many a heart-breaking scene,
but my trip wouldn't have meant as much to me
if it weren't for Mrs. Eileen.


She spent her time and money
to show me life in their eyes,
She made a huge sacrifice,
and now I realize why.

Jan.29th-last day in Haiti

Today is my last day in Haiti, but here is yesterday's journal!
"I haven't written the past few days because my wrist hurts badly, but I decided to try again tonight after taking some Aleve. Today we went to Fose Cap Wa. There is a school and a church there. The men worked on haning up doors, while we women got to color and share "oobleck" with the kindergarteners. There was one little boy that was my favorite because he smiled alot, named Julien. We also shred Jolly-Ranchers with them, which they loved. I met some of the older kids also, who were surprised to know that I was only 14. After school, which ends around noon, we went to the Tourists Market. It was alot of fun and I bought a few things for friends. The people are very friendly and try very hard to get you to buy anything of their's. When we came home, we found a group from Texas/Missouri here. They are very friendly and we barely noticed them. I had a sip of coffee, just to see what it tasted like, and I don't believe I will ever be a coffee drinker. I have to go to bed now, got a long day at the beach tomorrow!"
