A Flower Is Like Heaven

A flower is like heaven. It is with us for such a short time. Although heaven is eternal, it is fleeting. We cannot grasp the significance sometimes. We can’t see the truth for the beauty? Life is a puzzle for sure. Maybe God wants us to figure it out for ourselves? But man is a vain creature, he only wants the reachable. The unreachable is fleeting but still there. I can see it sometimes in my dreams, reaching out to be grasped. I sleep, I reach, I grasp, I hold, I wonder, I marvel, I wake, I lose.

Hi Colin, I like what you said about Heaven fading. Like a flower the feeling is real, but once it is out of our sight we seem to forget the beauty of eternal life. A pleasure to read. LINDA

Hiya, Linda. Yes, Heaven is like that but it is there all the same. Colin
