Where Camp Once Was

Where trees fall behind me,
And spirits have just sprung,
I once was courageous,
But now I feel so young.
When I was a pupil,
This place was lots of fun,
But I was too ignorant,
Under the burning sun.
I called over my friend,
With no care of anyone,
He now has cancer,
He was the unlucky one.
This once was a camp site,
I don’t know what I’ve done?
