What a lovely tribute to this sweet looking young man. A heartfelt message and an obvious bond in this little gem, economic of words but generous on emotion.

Dear friend, i like this write in its simplicity. But I am not sure I understand it rightly. Do I take it that both you and your son are not together ? I am sorry I do not quite get it. Please forgive.

    thank you for stopping by to read and review. The poem is about my belief that my son's and my souls have been entwined since time began. We are always together - sometimes he is the parent, or just a friend. Our souls are neither male or female - we have just been traveling together - always,,

This is so cool. "Through time our two souls have flown / For all time,"
I too believe I am connected to my husband, children and grandchildren on a deeper, spiritual, soul level.

"For all time, we're joined." Is such a beautiful realization.
A sweet photo. What a smile. :) .
What a gift to have your son as your best friend.


My beloved son
Through time our two souls have flown
For all time, we're joined

In my opinion, a lovely tribute to the friendship between parent and son, a lifetime union, told lyrically and in simple and artful construction, in full compliance with the prompt...

Clearly, this is a six star work with powerful energy delivered in photo and simple writing delivery as called for by the Tanka poetry structure. I cannot offer anything to improve this and thank the author for a powerful work here! HIS GRAYNESS.
