SUMMER CAMP AND CHILDREN GROWING UP


Summer is still here, for now, although just a couple of weeks left before the children are back in school. I am still feeling poetic about the summer and want to share this dear poem for parents (like me) who have had a child away at summer camp--although, since this is about children growing up, it will resonate with all parents.  Does this bring tears to your eyes like it did for me? 

The Summer-Camp Bus Pulls Away from the Curb, by Sharon Olds (again, even better if you listen to Garrison Keillor read it at this link).
