This poem was written about my summer camp. I post it today in dedication of very special friends that I made there that will live forever in my heart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Special Place

There is a place held deep within my heart
here where my independence received its start
summer camp means many things
memories, oh the joy they bring.

A child at camp viewed not by darts
a child at camp viewed heart to heart
my legs may be weak my will is strong
my confidence you see as I go along.

Beautiful surroundings, beautiful souls
here harsh words don't take their toll
lying in bed each night
I dream of new adventures come morning's light.

Dawn, sounds like a great camp. Did you hike and swim, follow raccoon trails?

Dawn, memoties are what helps us to get through the hard times. Aren't they?

Ah this is so nice Dawn...
and a wonderful dedication to the friends you met at camp as well.
Sometimes these friends stay in touch throughout our lives.
Very nicely done.
