SarahSunlight drips through the ancient trees
It drips into my skin
Warming me in the cool forest.
The warmth of the Universe tells me I am HomeI am at home in Nature surrounded by laughter of girls becoming the young woman that will change the world
I see their Magic
I see their Power
I see their WeirdnessAnd I remember the Joy of being that Girl
Weird
Smart
Ambitious
The world ahead of me Vast and Limitless
And my only wish for all the
Weird
Smart
Ambitious
Girls of the World is that they have the Courage, Confidence, and Character
to make this life and Earth better for all of usAfter searching my whole life for that feeling of Peace and Promise
I found itDrenched in sunlight, laughter, and song
Smelling of dust and dew
Just to be me in this place is more than I could have ever dreamedVoting is open!

Lauren,
Thank you! I am living on a Girl Scout camp in Michigan. This last summer was the first summer my partner James and I lived on the camp. We live here year round. The poem was mostly about how living at Camp is filled with so much hope and overall, such good energy to live around
