This rose you give me, <br />so fragrant and soft <br />This offering <br />will it last for long? <br />I've learned in life <br />of things that fade <br />with space and time. <br />Be it gifts of love <br />or blessed people in our lives. <br />I've learned in life <br />that nothing lasts forever. <br />I've seen days of sorrow, <br />and days of joy <br />I've wept at funerals <br />laughed at weddings, <br />It's a journey; this life <br />a heart's journey through <br />tunnels of emotions unstable <br />claiming you as they wish <br />Succumb and do not grieve <br />nothing lasts forever.<br /><br />Haajar Farah<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nothing-lasts-forever-16/
