Flowers

 The music that played so sweetly once, was written a long time ago
Composed by the love and sorrow deeply residing  within our souls
As real as the beauty of flowers, whose colors burn so bright, they glow
Are the feelings of loss for loved ones, swept away in life's ebb and flow  
Bringing forth lessons of humanity, overcoming our unforeseen trials
Living our lives inspired by theirs, remembering their laughter and smiles
Learn to hear the music, smell the flowers, rejoice in those around you
One day at a time, each moment anew, so precious, so fleeting, too few
