| Zaleski CCC Camp....... where many "candles of individuality" glow, A place that holds pleasures that only the ones that choose....... are priviledged enough to know. A time of backaches, blisters, & of fears; Days of laughter, Days of tears; Tests of will and trials of heart; Painful falls and the joy of newer starts. Always - always tests of soul....... to tempt one's weaknesses and their goals. No matter how hard the storm may blow....... it's important to keep each single candle aglow. Poem copied from Zaleski Christmas Party invitation from December 18, 1996. Author unknown. |
