It’s #TankaTuesday, everyone!
It’s the fourth week of the month, which means I’ll pick a theme for you to write about for this month. On the Monday before the next challenge, I’ll select someone to choose next month’s theme.
This month’s theme is:
“The Circle of Life”
Life Begins With nothing Just a body But accumulates Many things over time Health, wealth, knowledge, family With time, it all disappears And what's left? A husk. Just a body So, as it begins, life ends with nothing. Ritu 2020
But I Smile Anyway...

Lovely, Ritu. I love the circular nature of your poem–so very true. I often say, we are born alone and die alone, which can seem depressing but it is also somehow comforting–that cycle each of us is a part of.

Yes, but I like to think we will be remembered for a time in our children, and grandchildren. The circle of life continues through the generations. That way a little piece of each of us remains.

Oh yes, our legacy, whatever memories, and impacts we leave, are there, but we, as the one going, take nothing…

Now that is astute! Don’t they always say something like, “from wence we came, we return to the earth?” Love it, Sis. ❤
