WHAT IT’S

ALL ABOUT

The flowers stood tall and beautiful,
standing together in a vase,
enjoying the compliments of those
entering the room.
Then after a while,
the flowers began to fade.
Petals began falling to the floor.
In fact,
the flowers became quite nervous
till you said to them
from your bed, “All is okay.
I’ve been through this myself.
In fact, this is what it’s all about.”
