Parting Message from Shira!

July 13, 2015Leave a Comment

Two weeks sounds like an insignificant unit of time,
Yet these were unlike any other, entirely sublime
In Simcha we laugh and in Simcha we grow,
From tropical beaches to white fluffy snow.
Simcha gave us new wings so that we can fly,
To take home the magic and take everything in stride.
It taught us that when you stumble it’s okay to fall
And given us a family to help us through it all.
It showed us the power we have to create and to mold,
To turn everything around us into gold.
It taught us to put all our differences aside,
that you can see we are all equally special, if only you try.
It taught us to flip all our “can’t”s into “cans,”
With the new confidence achieved by this camp and our friends.
It taught us to use generosity instead of greed,
And sometimes a little Simcha is all you need.
Thank you so much Camp Simcha Special! These lasts two weeks filled me with memories that’ll last a lifetime!
