Is there Glory in life?

GLORIOUS BEAUTY

Up early one day,
Dew still on the gound
This beautiful bud
Was waking.

I watched that day
As the bud gently opened
With wonder and aw
At the beauty unfolding.

The next morning
That bud was a rose
Not quite fully opened

But as the sun rose
And warmed the ground
That rose opened
To glorious beauty.

The next few days
That rose held strong
Proud on the stem
It came to full blossom
Under the sun.

But as days went by
The rose started to wilt,
Petals began to fall,
The glory gone.

As I watched the life
Of that bud
I was reminded of myself
And my life.

Each day that passes
and the years slip by,
My petals continue to fall.

Maybe one day
A new bud will shine
In the morning dew

And renew my hope
For that glorious
Beauty called life.

Beautiful. I loved the truthfulness of this poem.
