MILAN, MILAN……BOSCO MILAN

Oct8

Wow its three days camp,

Among many to be the champ.

It started on the 27^th September,

And ended on 29^th September.

Bosco Milan

Many young hurried to Hatia,

To be a part of this event.

From twelve places they had come,

To eye witness, this event.

Boys and girls of all stature came together,

To mark this gathering as a memorable one.

Though there were many unwanted surprises,

Yet the Milan was a great success.

27^th at 11am was the Inauguration.

Hemant Soreng the former chief minster declared the Bosco Milan open.

This was followed by the lunch then as we hurried to the ground to March,

There was the shower that came marching after us to put all upside down.

There was a moment of boredom,

But soon it was changed into an exciting moment with the quiz time.

This gave a start for the eve warm up and sports session,

Then at mid night all retried to bed expecting for many surprises.

28^th brought a lot of things those were amazing,

Beginning, with the Agape.

The day’s chief guest gave a speech so harmonizing,

Making the afternoons dance competition so interesting.

As we kept in mind the motto of Don Bosco

“Run, jump and play but commit no sin”,

After tea we proceeded with the sports,

Everyone played with the vigor of an athlete.

It was then six in the evening,

All were tired with the sporting.

Then came the climax of the day’s program

when the priests were seated all over the ground,

To portray Jesus, as a forgiving father in reconciliation.

All experienced the Lord forgiveness,

So we went to have supper with a light heart.

Eagerly awaiting the night’s camp fire,

With it came the memorable midnight.

29^th being the end of the Milan,

Meeting the Lord in the Eucharist was the first thing,

Then came the most awaiting time the prize distribution,

All did well but few excelled, yet they were all so serene being.

After lunch we all departed with the rhythm of the Milan,

Thanks to the Almighty for his bountiful blessing.

Also we turn our grateful gaze towards our SDB confreres of Delhi,

Who organized it so well for the welfare of the young.

All was well

We wish it comes again and again.
