Beautifully written Tanka Annalise, full of emotion. Have a lovely Sunday....:)

Smile ~ "My Love & Warmth to 'You Always' &, All You Love, 'Forever,'" John! ~ Smile, "Have A Very 'Blessed & Beautiful' Day My Dear, Aside The Glowing Light That Always Shines In 'This, Everlasting, Stairway of Love;' Bye, 'My Dear Lovely, Precious Annalise!'":) ~

Smile ~ You know, as I reread this splendid verse my dear, All that has Ever been crossed afore my sight, standing atop this "Stairway Unto, 'Heavens Door; Beautiful' & Yes, 'A Fave!!!'" ~ I hope that "Your Treasures" are doing marvellously and, "Thank You, for Always blessing my heart within such sweetened coms; but a drop of sugar within my humble cup ~ Cont:)

Smile ~ "My 'Beautiful Grandfather,'" had visited my humbled self within a dream a few years or so ago and all which "His Beauty" did was, silently Smile into my eyes; and this, probably twenty years after "His Light" had passed on unto the other side, my dear ~ I love the wonderful feeling emitted from within this sweet canvas that, "Your Beauty," has brushed so brilliantly amid "The Colours of 'Such, Tender Love!!!'" ~ Cont:)

Smile ~ This is an amazingly beautiful verse I would most definitely say "My Dear, 'Precious & Priceless, Beautiful Annalise!!!'" ~ I could See "'Your Beauties' Father," or any other Priceless Soul, standing atop the stairways landing, Smiling and waving, free at last free at last, thank "God Almighty," we're Free at Last ~ You know, "My Dear Blessed & Gifted Annalise," I had mentioned not too long ago that ~ Cont:)

Annalise, this is really a beautiful Tanka you have here.. I love your last line especially.. All the best for MJF's contest, love Wilma
