Eight Hours

With a family of seven, 

It took eight hours to get from Esmont

To Harrodsburg.

I had planned to read a school book to Abraham and Joe

While Jadon drove.


Jadon did drive for an hour and a half.

But traffic was heavy at first,

And Phil was tired at the end. 

So we shared the driving between three.


The boys kept exclaiming over the sights.

Caleb was about as thrilled 

Going under a typical overpass

As he was of the more impressive bridges.

The merest hint of fall colors 

Brought raptures from Abraham.


No videos, just a bit of audio books,

Mostly the treasure of five boys,

Delighted in being on the road.
