Boat Trip

BOAT   TRIP



It was a  short enough trip  - an hour’s
Travel with few diversions near
Which filled us with joy, or brought a tear:
Just different spots between showers.


Fellow passengers showed  kindness:
A stranger became a friend,
Kids fell asleep in the end,
Steersman kept a steady progress.


Finally,   coming into port,
It didn’t matter where we’d been
Or what we’d seen.
It was a fruitful trip of a pleasant sort.
