All Comes to an End

A seed slowly glides toward the ground,

The wind blows away dirt for a landing

It calmly lands without a sound

Its next phase begins


Two lovers meet

A child is born

Its little laugh is sweet

As its growing phase begins


The seed has now grown into stem 

It cowers below the flowers

With much more potential

Being cared for is essential


The child is now a teenager

While looking forward to making money,

The child needs to choose a major

His parents care for him dearly


With all of its petals,

It stands along with its friends

It begins to release its seeds

Trying to avoid the weeds


The child is now an adult

He thrives with a family

In a home as a result

He raises his children


The flower begins its last phase

It shrivels its petals

As it decomposes

Its story closes


The child is now old and sick

He has fulfilled his course

His days come to an end

As his soul’s energy completes its descent
