Camp Happy

 

CAMP HAPPY

 

 

It was many and many

seasons ago

at a summer camp

by the name of Happy.

 

There was a beautiful young counselor there

by the name of Merry.

 

She was a child

and I was a child,

counselors

to children less fortunate than we

to children with less possessions than we.

 

We fell in love

with blessings from above

me and my beautiful Merry.

 

We married quite young

and struggles we made into fun

me and my beautiful Merry.

 

When sickness befell her

the Angles beheld her

and delivered her

to a Kingdom away from me

to a Kingdom far away from me.

 

All day it seems

I keep having these dreams

of my beautiful, beautiful Merry.

 

So now I reside

mostly inside

with wonderful thoughts

of my beautiful, beautiful Merry.

With thoughts of

my beautiful Merry.

    This is beautiful, yet sad. Sounds like she was a wonderful person.
