Look at withered flowers Used to bloom so tall In the sunlight hours Now they've lost it all Once so full of color Now they fade away Like a love grown colder In the light of day Where did the beauty go Watch it fade and fall Withered flowers in a row Echoes of it all Petals on the ground now Scattered by the wind Memories lost somehow Of a time they grinned Though the time has passed Roots are still so deep In the earth they last In the soul they keep Look at withered flowers Lessons they impart In their final hours Love with all your heart
