A certain flower blooms among others,
the sun kisses it just like some of different colors.
Yet, when there comes a time,
set forth from the Divine.
That He will reach down and pluck it up.
He will take it gently in to Himself,
while to human eyes it appears to have been snatched.
The lessons of life sometimes are hard to catch.
Like the one about love.
The greatest of them all.
While this flower was once a seed.
God gave it the breath of life and all that it needs.
We dance among it not knowing someday,
that the God that gave it,
will one day take it away.
So love that flower while love is near.
Cherish its space while it is here.
We behold its beauty for a season.
Then, God takes it away.
For Himself to behold in the everlasting days.
Know my people that no matter where the flower grows,
it is only there for moment for show.
Then God plucks it up from the earth,
to plant it again in heaven.
Oh my people, if you could see
a flower bloom in the heavenly.
Your tears would not sting,
Your heart would not weep.
The flower is finally at home
and finally at peace.
Richard J Wright (2009)
