Camp Fun

I came from a place
Where it was hard to find love
And going at a pace
That was like lightning from above

I arrived at a camp
My expectancy was low
But as daylight doth a lamp
So the reality out glowed

I met some interesting youth
And we instantly hit off
I thought about telling them the truth
But I didn't want to scare them off

As the night moved along
I got to know them more
Like a nightingale in full song
I knew there was more there then what I saw

Dawn saw standing
Honoring the sun as it rose
From this camp I was hoping for a safe landing
My feelings were already had enough to compose

As the day moved on
I had a lot fun
My spirit no more weight a tonne
I was feeling as bright as the sun

Still my past haunted me
My troubles, feelings and hurts were torture
But when I was with them I was free
I know I am still a learner

Day moved into night
And we all got talking a lot
Like about one's troubles and fights
And about whether one's undies were supportive or not

After awhile things procressed
And while some were verbally lancing
A skill I just had to profess
And that skill was one of dancing

I specifically stated I could do the waltz
And one put up her hand to learn
Yes she made a couple of faults
But in the end we started to sway and turn

A speaker came and a speaker went
Things started to get a bit colder
Some realized here an eternity could be spent
And the night grew older and older

Bouncing and chocolate eating
Feeling a bit hyper after the lollies
Thinking of friends I've been meeting
Sharing laughs and several follies

The next day saw us soaring to new heights
Swinging through the air with the greatest of ease
Some of us believed they could fly
For others, to stop, among other things, was their pleas

This camp has truly enriched my life
But what happens after really depends
I hope we can all help each other through strife
And from now till forever be great friends.
