Ohio

By Maddie

 

Getting packed, pillows and blankets

Into the car we go.  Buckle up

And get to sleep.  There goes

Our house, left alone.

No one there but our dog.  I worry.

What if no one lets him out?  What if

he does not get his water

or his food? I stop.

I do not let these worries get to my soul

I take a breath.  I look out the window.

It was not a familiar place

It was Ohio.
