Depleted of all my strength, hope all but spent, I caught the glimpse of a distant light. With renewed energy, I dug with all my might. In a quick and forceful thrust, I emerged form my murky grave. I felt the warm sun embraced me, endowing me with strength and warmth. As with all things, seasons pass and time goes on.
Pain gives way to remembrance of an everlasting love.
I evolve and mature. I gaze at my surroundings and see the marvels of nature, a field of flora in an assort-ment of bouquets. I glance at my reflection and see, I too have changed. With the passage of time, I, too, learned the value of a mother's love as I let loose the ties that bind a mother and daughter, a father and son, to allow the captivating beauty of my descendants to live on through the years, spreading love and beauty to all who would take a moment to appreciate the marvels of nature and the amazing process of creation that our Father above has endowed in all his creatures upon the face of this Earth.
