2 Quotes & Sayings By Miss Mae
"In one of the most difficult moments of her life, Miss Mae was able to use her voice to bring a lost child back home." This is what happens when you hear someone who cares. Miss Mae heard a little girl crying for help. Her heart went out to her but she didn't know how to help. "I just started to cry," she says
"You don't know what to do when a child is crying." So Miss Mae did something that seems so simple and normal, but in this case it wasn't. She began to sing. Her song was a sad one, about a lost child who had wandered off the edge of the world and couldn't get back.
The song was sad, but it had meaning. It was like music in the air, pulling the girl toward Miss Mae and away from danger. When she came close enough to be heard, Miss Mae called her name and asked if she was lost.
The girl answered yes and told her where she lived, and then asked if she could come with Miss Mae for a little while and look at the flowers and birds and everything that was happening outside. The girl's mother was worried sick about her and wanted her where she could see her at all times so they could keep an eye on her together. So Miss Mae brought the girl home with her and helped care for her mother while the mother looked for work so they could get food for their family again.
"I thank God every day," says Miss Mae, "that I did get the chance to give that little girl a helping hand."
