Time

Come gather the rose in bloom Before it withers and dies Like a book un-read or a song un-sung Useless waste swept away by time

I get so much out of these four lines, you have a way of saying a lot with very few words.

A very deep thought here Liz. We should learn to smell the rose while it is in bloom but not forget to tend the garden. God Bless, JB

4 lines of lovely kinetic energy! A book unread and a song unsung are equally a waste, dear. Analogies that soar. Luv, Gwendolen
