So Monday morning came we all woke with a start
First in the shower turned out to be smart
We had a morning meeting and jumped on the bus
Thoughts of 90 kids were with all of us
We rolled into Calderón first stop at Center One
We immediately realized these special women's work is never done
After meeting all the tías and
examining the ceiling
We opened up Lucy's stash and left the FUNDAC people reeling
Now on to Center Two a 15-minute walk away
We finally met the kids with whom we would spend the day
All the girls picked a group and spread about the school
Frank went to the kitchen in search of a tool
All the cooks ganged up and showed him the drain
He knew pretty quick the first job was to be a pain
Pilar and a pen made a list on a pad
Then we walked to the store to see what they had
We found light bulbs, fixtures, and
plumbing parts, too
Went back to the center to see what we could do
We got back to the center to find lunch in full swing
Holly, Kay, Sue, and Lucy were doing their thing
The laughing was loud and the kids were on the run
Before long all those little tykes were pretty much done
They finished their lunch and laid down for a nap
The drain project, it seemed, was going like crap
Lunch was next so we walked back to town
Must have been good as there was nary a frown
The afternoon was fun ’cause the kids were so sweet
Frank fixed a leak and they thought it was neat
We finished our tasks as our butts started to drag
We headed for Quito with our first day in the bag
Stopped off at the mall to grab beer and a snack
Now we all knew how good it is to give back.
