It starts as a seed in the womb of the earth And develops until it is ready to come out into the world to show it's beauty, color and fragrance. During its life-time it adorns very many functions For many occasions that without its beauty would not be the same. However, it has a very short life span, as it Grows old it begins to wilt and can no longer Stand erect. Then when it has served its earthly purpose Giving pleasure, it dies.
