The beautiful rose, healthy and red, petals of luxurious silk, soft to the touch, so fragile, so vibrant, so alive, held up by a beautiful and strong body of green, the leaves cradle it like a newly born child...Until it has grown weary and old, just as we do in our everyday lives, it becomes less healthy, more fragile, but less vibrant, less fragrant, less alive, it loses its essance, turns dark and dry, and wilts, and so ends the life of the lovley red rose.
