Listening to the radio

I listen to the radio, doing the washing up
and am grateful to have a sink to clean;
I listen to the radio, favourite music channel,
and am grateful for musical memories 
being kept alive;
I listen to the radio, books are discussed,
and am grateful for old and new authors;
I listen to the radio,
and am grateful for being able
to listen  to the radio,
in my own kitchen.

If I was in a refugee camp in Greece,
or Syria
I think these are some of the things I would wish for;
to be able to do the washing up in my own kitchen, 
while listening to the radio.
