“AS” Shadow or Life
As swift as the dog’s tail; longer than white pines
As defined as a blade of grass; assumed to have no meaning
Its purpose is never completed; as meaningless as money to a rich man
Like a cloud of smoke; or a moonbeam splashing in the lake
Desired in the noon of the day; overpowering or escaping in the night
Fleeting as a unpened idea; or a voided opportunity
As a gifted imagination; uncontrolled as enthusiasm or anticipation
The flowers sharing in the trance they cause or a flower without fragrance
The grass that holds my feet give me excitement for tomorrow
Can you… see…notice…care?
Will you...look…remember…change?

Hi, do you know anyone from the Milwaukee area who would be interesting in hosting a highschool foreign exchange student. I am a Community Coordinator in West Bend and I am looking to place students with great families. I work for the Council for Educational Travel. Hope you are having a memorable, educational, and exciting time in Guatemala. What an experience?
Thank you!
Jenny
