Kayak

At a small lake with friends,
Isaiah asked to try out a kayak.
He came back with an ear-to-ear grin,
Having loved being on the water
Without being in the water.

It made sense that he tried it.
He’s always been the most fearless.

And Jadon, too, made sense that he’d try it.
More cautious, but older,
He went and came back.

But the real surprise was Abraham,
Known for his terror of water,
His general caution.

He put on his life vest and headed out
And stayed out for a long time,
And came back, thrilled and ready for a
Repeat. Maybe tomorrow,
Or at least once a month.
