太陽がにっこり笑う春の空
by koharu, my 11-year-old granddaughter.

Spring has come in Tokyo.
It's still cold but today's gentle sunshine says
it's spring.

It is said to be snowing in Tohoku region.
Oh! May spring come in those devastated areas!

One of my American friends wrote to me as follows:
---------------------------
While it must seem overwhelming to watch and wait,
I pray you will find joy in everyday moments like
your granddaughter's smile, playing your harmonica
or visiting with neighbors.

koharu was excited to find wild little flowers
by the roadside.

I had almost forgotten to see those lovely flowers.
