For The Contest, "A Garland String Of Tankas" Sponsor, John Anderson
I cling to mother with unconditional love arms wrapped around tight- immune to pain of neglect my bond knows no other way Eyes steadfast in gaze upward turned to mother's face searching for comfort- the innocence of my heart sees only this, my mother I see not the truth the hours left unattended many missed feedings- imprinted with nature's bond my eyes of a child see love These eyes of a child watch closely for survival matter not the cost- nature grants me this lifeline I hold on tight, good or bad.
