Smile of Love


Cheery !

A Grand-daughter’s smile

Chases away worry,

And brings healing to a weary heart.

It’s better

To bring healing

Than hospital’s prescribed

Daily routine medicine

I think.

At Day’s End…

End of Christmas Day--Tanka
Original Poetry and Photograph by Leona J. Atkinson ©2015

At the end of Christmas Day, after all the excitement is over, the presents are opened, the wrappings are gathered up and thrown away, I am glad that the love of family remains.  Peace on Earth—Goodwill to Men.  Christmas Blessings to all.
