About Day One
Left Seaside eight on the dot
On to Shipley’s, donuts hotSleeping bag Hunter forgot
Rita brought one – problem? Not!
Stopped at Boyer’s – Jason’s towel
Now it’s nine, but please don’t scowlKelly saw us off with prayer
Lora, too, those sisters rare
Outhouse door on wheels we passed
Waved to Giant Sam, so vastHuntsville rest stop for a time
For Dairy Queen Jason pined
Jason, Hunter, non-stop gab
Dee read some, then sleep he grabbedGrace and Espey, Jason, too …
Want to speak at church? You do!
Taco Bell for lunch today
Then a nap for all, OK?(Except maybe Mama Chris. She was driving.
But I was asleep. So I really don’t know for sure)
Then a scream filled our calm air
“Ah, my toes!” wailed Jason fair.
Jason's yell was mild, although
That Snyder door pierced louder, Oh!Gracie, Espey, Hunter, say,
You too can call me, P-K!
Who let toddlers in our van?
Can they sing? You bet they can!Got to Lubbock Pizza Hut
Prayed with Mary – she served us
With our footprints we met us
Worked together with no fussMade an island with play dough
Read prayer partner notes just so
Off to bed this day is done
And it’s only our day oneSoon we’ll hit New Mexico
Close to Jesus we will grow
Psalms 96:11 says, “Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound,
and all that is in it”
Father, here we go. Please come along with us. Amen.
