Managing and Implementing Change

Leadership, learning, and successful implementation of the College and

Career-Ready Standards

The ArmfulBy: Robert Frost

For every parcel I stoop down to seizeI lose some other off my arms and knees,And the whole pile is slipping, bottles, buns—Extremes too hard to comprehend at once,Yet nothing I should care to leave behind.With all I have to hold with, I will do my bestTo keep their building balanced at my breast.I crouch down to prevent them as they fall;Then sit down in the middle of them all.I had to drop the armful in the road.And try to stack them in a better load.
