Packing for Children

To pack for a weekend 

With children requires

Much more than a tankful

Of gas and good tires.


You have to remember 

Their PJ’s and clothes,

Their brushes for teeth

And for hair, I suppose.


Shampoo, soap and toothpaste

And lotion for itches,

The books they are reading,

The iPads and Switches.


Perhaps a stuffed creature 

Or doll that’s a fave

And surely some snacks 

Of the type they would crave.


When all is assembled

(And yes, it’s a lot!),

You climb in the car, wond’ring

What you forgot.
