From dust to dust

Look at this frail flower,

Wilting away as we speak.

A beauty of the world about to sour,

As its colours turn bleak.

.

Why do we pick the prettiest?

What is it all for?

Why is it always easiest

To keep taking more?

.

I see the colour drain

From those once rosy cheeks.

Like your soul hasn't seen rain

For so many weary weeks.

.

Why did He pick the prettiest?771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbTtLn2zW3

What was the point of it all?

Why did you find it easiest

To accept the dark downfall?

.

Now we watch a flower fall,

Back into the ground where it once lived.

Something so precious and small

That had a lifetime unlived.

.

So there goes our prettiest.

Picked fresh from our garden.

The pain is not the easiest,

But we'll meet again, that's for certain.
