Ephemeral

As a sunrise in a garden.
As the missed life of a grandchild. 
As a butterfly touch on a flower. 
As a thousand good byes to a loved one.
As a hint of lavender. 
As a word of encouragement. 
As a word of discouragement. 
As a sudden shooting star. 
As a life spent counting the minutes. 
As a life barely lived.
