We can't know why the lily has so

brief a time to bloom in the warmth

of sunlight's kiss upon its face.

Before it folds its fragrance in and

bids the world good-night to rest its

beauty in a gentler place.

But we can know that nothing that

is loved is ever lost, and not one

who has ever touched a heart can

really pass away, because some

Beauty lingers on in each memory

of which they've been a part.
