A Rhyme of Remembrance

As we are moving towards the final day,

It feels like only yesterday was the fifteenth of May.

Having expectations of what we would see,

We created an image of how Greece would be.

In Glyfada, we formed an appetite for gyros,

Then washed it down with a refreshing Mythos.

Athens was never a city I pictured as cruel,

Our eyes were opened on the issues of Somalis with the help of Abdul.

Adventures like bungee jumping helped tackle our fears,

3-2-1 the Global LEAD group powerfully cheers.

Crete was like a city and island combined,

Sports Café is where we conveniently dined.

BA and Jason taught many lectures on how

We can become leaders and experience the power of wow.

Excitement, nervousness, and laughter too

Is what we felt riding the donkeys in a city of white and blue.

Making friends along the way,

It will be hard to not see them every day.

It’s so difficult to put into writing,

The beauty, the people, and the places we have been sighting.

Even though our trip has come to an end,

A love has developed between the bonds of 42 new friends.

On behalf of the of the LEAD Greece crew,

BA, Jason, Brian, and Scott, we would like to say Thank You!
