“THAT is one little girl I love to watch,” said Grandma. “I wonder what makes her look so bright?”
“Why, I know that girl. That’s Susie Moore, and she doesn’t have a very easy time of it either.”
“Susie, Susie,” called Linda. “Come up here a minute. Grandma wants to know what makes you look so bright all the time?”
“Why, I have to,” said Susie. “You see, Daddy has been sick a long time, and Mommy is tired out with nursing, so I have to bring in the sunshine. Shall I sing my little song for you?”
God make my life a little light
Within the world to glow;
A little flame that burneth bright
Wherever I may go.
