Flower of desert resplendent at dawn withered at sunset firework splendor brightening heart few instants vanishing like dew drops are possessions rags shed at the gate only covering love hope and faith. love being the greatest mirroring a child's heart carefree, adventuresome full of fun and laughter a jump into arms of waiting parent trusting is being loved and happy to love back but parents in whose arms do they jump trusting will be provided with festive bread and wine? Parent of all parents to Whom belongs the past in whose hands the future rests known to give the best for happiness and health seeds to plant and harvest life to life restart body of beauty and strength to follow His sweet commands with Sundays resting stops to pray and reflect on how one missed a sign and switch on reverse to get back on path and reach the finish line Paradise of playful joyful rest and who in truth can doubt looking at the Crucified His eternal love for us His children for whom He died?

This is a great contemplative reflection on the transience of life and the importance of love and hope. Your use of vivid and symbolic imagery adeptly conveys your message and makes it more impactful. I especially liked how you set the stage with the contrasting image of the desert flower that blooms at dawn and whithers at sunset.
