Giving Thanks


heads bowed and hearts full
lavished with undeserved love
beggars turned princes
shedding tears of gratitude
they cast their crowns at His feet

Lovely ! I don't know if this does full justice to Tanka form . But the sentiments expressed are lovely and the way they are expressed, remarkable !

Thank you Valsa! You are right. I wrote this when all I knew of the form was the syllable count— always learning :)
