Beautiful, But Fragile
Flowers are beautiful
to see
to feel
but they are short-lived
for they wither fast
Relationships are beautiful
to cherish
to nourish
but they break apart
if care is not taken
Art is beautiful
it brings wonder
in its splendour
but not all can understand
its real worth
Glass is beautiful
in its pattern
as a lantern
but it shatters to smithereens
when dropped down
Icicles are beautiful
in the caves
near the waves
but a little sunshine
and they melt away to nothing
Life is beautiful
to enjoy
and employ
oneself in good works
for soon it will end
Everything is beautiful
in its own way
but does not stay
forever the same
for beauty is fragile.
