We all share the flower's fate in the end.

Very wise and just a bit cynical, Gershon! Still, that’s what life is all about, I guess…

Like someone trying to achieve a dream, but there are hindrances and thus the journey ends. This poem speaks volumes Gershon!...ab

So true, gw. And I have often wondered why a thing of such beauty must be so short-lived.

Once separated from the main stem, however high a flower soars, it is destined to die. A sad and great truth!

Well, it is death that gives meaning and urgency to life. :)
