While the Sun Is Our Friend

Even the most luminous petal of the enviable rose will share its magnificence for such a short time As such, we must appreciate each moment of its glory for even from the most noble, petals do whither and fall Like the rose in full bloom we must shine every day and live every second while the sun is our friend
