WE ARE All wanderers, seekers we are Searching for a hidden meaning A secret, some key to being Dreamers in solitare. Fervent whispering to a star, While wind frees the mountain misting And sun casts its last radiant glowing. Retreats in silence afar. We are what make ourselves to be, Trying one path, testing another, Choosing where to plant the seeds. We begin to create answers, Finding at least one certain: I am me! This, I hope, you'll too discover. Abram Paradies We Are . . . such a simple statement, yet one so full of meaning. We are the leaders of tomorrow, the men and the women of the future, the emerging generation. We are aware ... we see the problems in the world which we will inherit. Yet we have the energy and creativity to change what shouldn’t be and to better that which is. We are productive ... in our own ways we are all giving of ourselves. We have the potential to produce a perfect world, we must all work together. We are supportive . . . the foundation of a successful person is the support of his people. We care enough to want to help others achieve their goals. We are intellectual . . . because we all have ideas to share with others, someday there will be a world without wars aAd hate. We will reason instead of rave. Under the sky we are nothing except a small group of people . . . Huguenots. But each one of us is looking up into that sky searching for our own individual star to follow. We Are . . . that in itself is beautiful. What we'll be, only time will tell. Janet Kennedy
