the flowers have given their best

and are slowly going to rest

something new is in the air

all the fruits have come to bear

amid the confusion of coming and going

is the gentle wind of ageing

saying goodbye to those we love

wishing them blessings from above

letting go of so many things

all that is pulling at our heart strings

fortunate for those who have the longing inside

of LOVE, HOPE and FAITH’s challenging ride
