Quatern

Friends  

Friends come and go like spring flowers.
Something once bright and delightful,
fading into a memory.
Surprisingly temporary.

Despite best efforts to nurture,
friends come and go like spring flowers.
They require time and energy,
as flowers need rain, soil and sun.

Some--roses, lovely yet thorny.
Some—tulips, short in duration.
Friends come and go like spring flowers.
Few are stubborn perennials.

They add color, beauty, fragrance.
Sadly color and beauty fades.
Fragrance lingers but a moment.
Friends come and go like spring flowers.
