Fleeting – One Single Impression
October 2nd, 2008 . by Joyce
Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek
(This photo is of my mother-in-law holding her dear little great-granddaughter. I think the following tanka goes along with the photo nicely.)
True satisfaction
The fruit of a life well-lived,
Problems faced bravely
During life’s fleeting seasons
Yield this abiding, sweet fruit.
These three tankas are a response to the prompt “Fleeting” given at One Single Impression. Please visit the site to learn more about participating, and to read more poetry!
Oh! I’m also participating in something new to me called Photostory Friday.Perhaps you would like to participate, too?
These are lovely. The tanka is a beautiful tribute to you mother-in-law. God bless!

Lovely remembrances … I love the way you’ve combined OSI and Photostory here and I’m reminded it’s been far too long since I’ve participated in One Single Impression.
Hugs and blessings,
