Nothing is eternal,
Except eternity itself.
This, I knew better than anyone,
I knew. nothing ever lasts.
Not the stars in the sky,
not the flowers in the vase on the window,
nor the ones in the garden
not the innocence of childhood
not the only life I so cherished with all of mine.
I miss him.
with my entire soul, i miss him.
but he never would have wanted this,
for me to despair over him this way.
For he believed in taking every moment as it came
embracing it, and letting it leave,
opening yourself to the next, and doing the same.
so I will continue to search for him in the stars,
to buy his favorite flowers each time they wilt,
to remember him in the spaces between the seconds,
I will continue to live each moment, to love every moment, and to cherish my life.
I will never not miss him,
But everything is only temporary,
and what can be precious to you,
if it is always to be yours?
Death can be frightening
but Life is just as scary
Take each stage of life as it comes
like the petals of a flower,
that sprout, bloom, wilt, and die.
Welcome death when its time
and adore everything in between.
