Musical (poem)

"The play's the thing." - Shakespere

Artists
one and all
gather to put on the Musical

some ready props
others create costumes
set lights and sounds
sing and dance

All are pieces
of the greater whole

It takes
determination
patience
faith

It takes them all
to put it on!

Campers and Staff
work
Work
WORK

And there are laughs
tears
prayers
applause

All working towards the moment

The moment the musical begins

The actors in their place
The lights shine
The music begins

And it was all worth it!

Amen.
