I put a flower in your hands
to signify little me.
For now the flower is pretty,
but pretty it will not always be.
It will grow old and wrinkly,
and soon will even die,
and if you still hold it close
i hope you do not cry.
for we are taught when little that everything must die,
and so this little flower
will eventually say bye-bye.

one of the oldest things we learn is that everything dies,and it is a natural thing.
