Title: A New Beginning

Notes: Elena wrote this poem about her life before camp, she was beaten, raped, drugged, etc. With her coming to camp, she has a new beginning and she feels that spring is where it will start.

Poem:

It's only the beginning ...a pathway yet unknown sometimes the sound of other steps ...sometimes we walk alone.

The best beginnings of our lives may sometimes end in sorrow but even on our darkest days the sun will shine tomorrow.

So we must do our very best whatever life may bring and look beyond the winter chill to smell the breath of spring.

Into each life will always come a time to start anew a new beginning for each heart as fresh as springs morning dew.

The years will never take away our chance to start anew it's only the beginning now so dreams can still come true.

The pink petals fly high above saying hello to those we know and love as the wind dances and spring begins.
