limited wisdom

each of the flowers exists only for day

your eyes may feast on them but that is all

in a small time they wilt and fade away

we think the garden is just there for play

but with no beauty we'd decay and fall

each of the flowers exists only for day

night is no time our feelings to betray

we hide such things behind a sudden wall

in a small time they wilt and fade away

all is for glory under the bright ray

however large it is or else how small

each of the flowers exists only for day

we make excuses without much delay

and hasten when we hear the others call

in a small time they wilt and fade away

you tell us all the words we have to say

and laugh so hard when we forget to crawl

each of the flowers exists only for day

in a small time they wilt and fade away
