Greatest Rewards – A Tanka

Life’s greatest rewards

Friendship, love, marriage, children

So easily lost

Succumbing to deadly sin

Destroys all that we treasure

    Reblogged this on Teacher as Transformer and commented:
    I wonder where trust vital and is the fabric of our relationships is. And, then I look around and see it is there; I just have to work harder at drawing it out. If I don’t, I destroy all that I treasure. Well said Dom.

    So hard to gain those rewards, yet so easy to lose them. Great poem as usual.

      Thank you Charles, it certainly is easy to lose things that were so hard to gain.
