Flowers fade

I saw the beauty of the land

as we walked upon it hand in hand

as it bloomed and budded all around

with luscious life that knew no bound

But life was never permanent

no matter how magnificent

and as the flowers wilted away

I knew that you too could not stay

The memories wane as flowers fade

and the new ones formed seem to invade

upon the sacred life that we had known,

upon the life that we had grown

Thus I return you to the soil,

the dust that holds no fear or spoil,

to a Life that knows no suffering,

to hope’s eternal Life Spring
