A short poem to remind us to cherish every moment.
I witnessed the death of a flower,
And the tragedy made me weep.
Here for a day, and then gone away,
It's life was so bitter sweet.

The vitality of youth is so fleeting,
And all too soon withers and fades.
Leaving us wistful and jaded,
And the hair on our heads turning grey.

So cherish the beauty of life,
Every moment the Lord lets you stay.
'Cause we have but one day in the sunshine
Before the night takes it away.
