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
welcome home
worn out but so grateful
to view a bit of central Europe
to laugh and enjoy the company
of three generations of loving family
together for a week in Germany
Austria and Hungary
Thank You, Lord
