Send me your favorite poem
by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in undergrowth;
Then took the other, just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Walk on a trail of song,
And all about you will be beauty.
There is a way out of every dark mist.
Over a rainbow trail.
- Navajo Song
And here I run
To steal the secret sun;
This is my rock
And here I come
Before the night has swept the sky;
This is my rock
This is the place
I meet evening face to face.
- David McCord
knowing only a few people,
and fearing my position here.
Nine weeks sounded like an eternity,
it seemed that time would never pass,
and this camp would never be home.
But now as I look back on the past weeks,
I wonder where the time has gone,
and if I will ever return.
For Hidden Valley is now my home-
I 've learned to live in it's beauty,
and love the people who work here.
The time has now come for a change,
but the memories of life here,
and my friends will always remain.

Friendship isn't like a libray book,
taken and returned in two weeks.
Friendship is given for a lifetime,
and you can have mine for keeps.
I won't wait for letters or an occasional call,
friendship isn't always that way.
Its just a special feeling we keep deep inside
and it helps us through all of our days.
Perhaps I should mentaion there may be a price
although friendship comes free of charge.
When you give away caring and sharing,
you give away part of your heart.
But living is what we are here for
and loving makes living alright.
I'm glad you can say you came my way,
if only for a moment in time.
- Cash; Summer 1983
It's happened again.
I didn't mean for it to happen,
But it has.
When I left for a new camp,
I was determined it would be "just a job."
I refused to allow myslef to ever become so
attached to any one place again.
I thought I'ld just move on each year
And not let myself become too involved.
But I couldn't help myself;
With so many beautiful people around,
Sharin' themselves with me
And offering me their friendship.
So I finally came out a little
But now it's almost over--
and I was just getting started.
I guess I'll have to return next summer
Cause I'm part of things now,
and there is so much left that I want to do;
Special places still undiscovered,
New-found friends to get to know better.
I just can't see myself being able-or wanting to
turn away.

On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done and I say I
There's a reason for here and a reason for above...
Sisters for the summer that's what the children say
But little do they know that when they go away
That friendships will never fade.....
So in search of love and laughter I'll be travelin cross this land
Never sure of where I'm going
for I haven't any plan
But in time when you are ready
come and join me take my hand
and together we'll share live out on the loose...
It is not real, it does not grow.
It's just a tatoo of a flower
So I look good takin' a shower.
Its on the second toe of my left foot.
A stem and flower, it has no root.
(cause that wouldn't look good)
There's a daisy on my toe
My left foot loves my right foot so
ooooooh!
