Indian Families Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Sitting watching as father and son play pool here at the
recreation center, mother and daughter sitting, watching,
talking together.

Being from India, this family continues to be close and do
things with one another, so unlike American families these
days.

Being separated from their families because of work and
taking care of the many duties that keep them away from
their homes.

Meetings, agendas, so many things to be taken care of
no time to spend with their families, children being
left to themselves, playing games, watching TV, getting
into trouble because they have no discipline or role
models to look up to.
