Markets and pad food 

And monks and a street band

All of this we saw 

When we arrived in Thailand 

 

We went out exploring 

And learned a lot about each other 

We’ve loved and we’ve laughed 

And often annoyed one another 

 

The stories we’ve told 

And all the fun facts 

Have brought so much embarrassment 

From the questions Nathan’s asked 

 

Chailey threw up 

And Tori had a cough 

Mac uses strange words 

Like jaunt, slaps, and quaf 

 

So much tea

And coffee has been consumed 

And Carol is wild and funny 

Which keeps us all amused 

 

Sometimes when Ellie works 

She  puts on a show 

Also Nathan is homeschooled 

Dang…. low blow 

 

Jayci’s a hard worker 

Always comes out with the win 

Seems to be the best at what she does 

Even with an identical twin 

 

Tonight, Carly, Kayla, and I went out to eat

And I really got to know em 

Though I wasn’t really listening 

Cause I was working on this poem 

 

We’ve left so much behind 

Friends and families we’ve missed 

Though we kinda got distracted 

By the elephants we kissed 

 

We painted and scrubbed 

And moved boxes into stacks 

I’m not gonna talk about the bathroom 

Cause man that jank was whack 

 

The kids at Agape 

Are far more than we could ask for 

And their smiles and laughs 

Go straight down to our core 

 

I wanna take a moment 

And thank God for this team 

I love them to death 

Even as weird as they may seem 

 

They bring a smile to my face 

With all the joy they each bring 

We grow closer to God and each other

With the worship that we sing 

 

God did a great thing 

When He brought us together 

And we will thank and praise Him for it 

No matter what kind of weather 

 

We are halfway through 

The first month of this race 

And I think I can speak for us all

When I say “We love this place.” 

 

So two weeks down

And we’ve had the best of times 

But it’s time for me to stop talking 

Cause I’ve run out of rhymes.
