lifetime’s worth
awaited recognition
wrapped in a red rose
so what if I am no more
I know I lived in your thoughts
So what?
lifetime’s worth
awaited recognition
wrapped in a red rose
so what if I am no more
I know I lived in your thoughts
Reena Saxena 
A beautiful tanka Reena. Read like a Renga with the two last lines being a response to the first 3 lines.
