On the road, destination San Antonio
three vehicles trail, fumes and all
a distance of three hundred miles
on a day so hot, quite easy to recall

first stop, for some gas and water
children wailing, in plain confusion
their own world torn apart in a day
yet following, their parents’ vision

Get more water and to eat, next stop
for the young ones a cold chili lunch
some chilled grapes for a quick desert
then off we go again, this moving bunch

after the final fillup, we then arrive
in a storage facility to unload a lot
to have sold everything before we left
may have been wiser, then again maybe not

what a price do we put on our memories?
how much for the fun from an old toy?
we still need to sort things out a bit
but this moving day is over, what a joy!
