Prompt 11 Numbers

Doing the Math in Maryland

I’ve traveled to ten states

for a total of about 2,000 miles

 in eleven days.

I have 40 states,

about 9,000 miles plus two flights,

 and seventy-nine days to go.

I’ve eaten seven foods I’ve never eaten,

have done ten things I’ve never done,

and have met three new friends.

I’ve been adopted by one dog.

I do my daily five—

Pray and read the Bible

Write a poem

Do an hour of exercise

Do something kind

Do something fun—

and I’m learning

no matter how many people

I add into my life

and no matter how many leave

I’ll never be just one,

for You are with me.
