A dragonfly chose me, at children's camp ,you see.
It was music time
and all was fine,
Until a Dragonfly landed on me!
The kids behind me had a scream attack!
It was on my back.
I turned around and said,
"Guys, I don't want to be mean, but I want to sing!"
I turned back around to take a good look.
Up front, the teacher had a large picture book.
The music teacher explained, "Our hearts have a stain called sin.
That makes our hearts black within."
Then she started singing a beautiful tune:
"If you want a heart of white, ask Jesus in your heart tonight."
So, though the Dragonfly was now in my hair, and
My friends were making a fuss,
I just didn't care because Jesus was there.
It was just the two of us.
My heart, so heavy and black,
not the color I wanted.
Jesus could make me new!
So with no looking back, Dragonfly still on me,
I left the pew and went forward, Jesus to see.
I asked Him into my heart that special day.
And when I did, the bug flew away.
Sometimes I think it was a sign
Of how Jesus is with me all the time.
So that's the story I will never forget,
when Dragonfly and I briefly met.
But, oh, even better, what happened that night!
Jesus changed my heart and made it white!

Author Notes
When I was nine I went to children's camp and had many great experiences, but the best one was the night I asked Jesus into my heart! Also memorable was the slight distraction that night... A huge dragonfly landed on my back, then my shoulder, then on my hair. I have always wondered if the dragonfly was sent to tell me, that's how close Jesus can be to me, with me all the way.
Thanks for reading:)
