A Borrowed Gem

Life is a borrowed gem, a wondrous gift, so like a rose that buds, then fully blooms until at last, it withers in the end as life and death their dual chorus sing.

This is wonderful,Sandra and reminiscent of the verses from Isaiah 40:8 - The grass withers and the flower falls ( but the word of the Lord endures forever.) This snippet definitely draws me to want to read the whole poem!
