Ecclesiastes 3:2-8 “There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens:” A flower embraces our mind And soul with its beauty, It’s not meant to live forever, It’s to be enjoyed for now. We try to hang on for dear life, Grow up like that flower, Leaving memories for those around us, Wither and die.

My father who lived to be almost 97 said it doesn't matter how old you are, you do not want to die but to go on living. I believe if we remain well, we want to live. Congratulations on your winner. Way to go. Sara K

Dear Eve we are like a flower we bloom like they do and live and enjoy their beauty and they do embrace our souls with their beauty. But one day they wither and die just like we do . We both try to hang onto life but join the cycle of life. Lovely poem my friend. Hugs and blessings Jennifer.

I wish we could hold onto soethings or people for ever, but the circle of live continues and we as part of it take part in it. Sad but true Evie, my heart feels for you. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.
