Celebrate Me

Give me flowers while you still can,
In this fleeting world, a brief lifespan.
Don't wait till I am under the sand,
To say I was the man that always took a stand.
Let blossoms of love unfold,
In the tapestry of moments, stories untold.

I have cretinous heights to get to,
Yet I live my life impromptu.
Like petals whispering tales of grace,
Embraced by time, a fleeting embrace.
Letting fragrant verses of beauty unfurl,
In the garden of life, a precious swirl.

For time is a painter, a swift brushstroke,
Cherish the blooms before they revoke.
In the melody of now, a sweet refrain,
Everything earned, nothing given.

Give me flowers while you still can, 
let their essence remain, it's a brief lifespan.
Celebrate me.

An uplifting piece. Yes we should take time to celebrate those we love while they are with us. The dead have no use for kind words or flowers.

Unfortunately, we are inclined towards always seeing the fault in ourselves rather than all the good things we can do for each other.. I write this piece after my colleague at work who dedicated his everything to make sure the organization succeeds was fired unfairly... I was hurt, and this is how I choose to express myself. Good day Richard
