Family is now divided
Flood waters rising
Senryu
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 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.
