A Poem by Dennis while sitting in his chair.

“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!
