family Alaskan joy

 haiku

laughter with family

a week of Alaskan scenes

mountains, glaciers, joy

Alaska week

home from a week’s cruise

with ten of the family

so seldom together

Alaska may never

heard such laughter

and joyful catching-up

family chooses

haiku

family chooses

joy of mountain view for me

with green trees for peace

dream on

once upon a time

a young woman clung to the dream

of a house on a hill overlooking mountains

and surrounded by loving children and grandchildren

she had no idea how beautifully that dream would be fulfilled

but she is grateful
