Full Flower of Her Youth

Shirley Shuler on Oct 28, 2009

This moment…

Petals unfolding.

Stretching, yawning.

Basking in the sunshine.

Marveling at the dawn of a new day.

Wonderful, marvelous that the world should care.

Sudden wind blowing.

Tide changing on a dime.

All yesterdays belong to history.

Tomorrow has no written guarantee.

Cut down in the full flower of her youth.

    Very nice. I wish that we could freeze time when the flowers are in bloom (literally and figuratively).

    We only have this moment so we had best make the most of it.

    Beautiful. Reminds us how to appreciate time and beautify our life while we still have chance.
