Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That’s why we call it the present.

The greatest thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving. -Oliver Wendell Holmes-

I grow a little
But then i die.
I open up
But I fall down.
I am being held up
By something
But not knowing what it is.
I fall apart and die
But in the place of where I died
There is a new beautiful flower
Standing where I was dying.
