I thought this to be thoroughly engaging and appropriate for the terms and conditions of this contest. Brave. That's what this piece is. It's a statement that won't change and makes someone stand up and look around for where that certainty came from. Good luck. xoxo Kiwi

This is a very nice, simply written with a strong message poem. I think it answers the writing prompt well and the thought of the desire to walk together should certainly cheer lonely hearts, especially after the strong expression of love in the beginning.

A very well-written uplifting Tanka. We can. Know we are loved and cherished by our Father. He will never let us walk alone and left us in despair. Our future is in His hands.

So, I see you've decided on writing a tanka poem to get your uplifting message across to your readers, Anonymous Poet.
As most tanka do, this depicts a scene filled with familial love, wisdom, and understanding.
Things passed down from generation to generation always seem to mean the most.

What daughter wouldn't kill to hear these words from her daddy? I would, I know. And guys, too.

Sweet and endearing, I like the easy flow of words and the way their flow matches the walking in the image you chose.

Hello there. Great post and entry for the writing prompt. It would be a great message from a father or parental figure. I thought of it as a message in a dream from beyond where you get a second chance to have a conversation with them. Good luck.
