Disappointment

by Horizon

​

At Camp Horizon, the sun was high,
Swimsuits on, towels dry.
From twenty churches, we'd come to play,
Our hearts all light, our minds at the bay.

​

We sang and prayed, the day was bright,
Horizon skies, our future light.
But at Pelican Bay, the water was still,
We longed to dive, we longed to chill.

​

Counselors grinned, with hearts so kind,
But Logan spoke, his voice resigned.
"The pool is closed," he loudly said,
Our hopes, like waves, had come to bed.

​

With snow cones in handand no splash to make,
We sat in shade, our hearts would break.
Yet still, we smiled, we shared a bite,
Chick-fil-A in hand, we tried to fight.

​

Tears fell softly, like the summer breeze,
Our dreams of swimming lost with ease.
But in the end, as hearts did mend,
We knew this camp would never end.

​

For though Pelican Bay was locked away,
The joy we shared would surely stay.
At Horizon Camp, together we’d be,
A family formed, a community free.
