Traveling

Although at times I wished for a daughter,
There is a certain notoriety that comes
From traveling with five sons.

Is the baby a boy, too?
That’s a lot of energy!
Will you try for a girl?
You have your hands full!


There are other comments, too,
That make me glad.

This is the most efficient family I’ve ever seen.
Do you need help? Probably not. You’re managing so well!
These are good children! So polite!


I try to remember to bask in the comments,
The fleeting communal smiles and joy.

Travels with my youngest have just begun, but
Two-thirds of my time with my oldest is over and done.
