cruise crew

two beautiful daughters

one bright, lovely granddaughter

and old me, again at table

delighting in fine food

looking forward to dessert

and as close to a round of cribbage

and granddaughter’s time

before work will allow

laughing, teasing, giggling

venting our dismay with our government’s sneering at law

and limitations of power

and the local physical and world-

wide harm being caused

but mostly warming to the loving

support and enjoyment we give

to each other

priceless

and deeply valued
