It appears and springs forth into the world
It grows continuously with sun, warmth and care
It needs attention and protection in development
It shows beauty in its detail and character
It displays the vivid color in its silhouette
It requires refreshing water for its brilliance
It can withstand powerful winds and storms
It grows into maturity that sets fruit for others
It leaves a mark of depth and beauty while it’s here
It tries to last, but wilts away in its chosen time.

This is very profound verse.
Perhaps it is impossible to comment on your present verse because you really have made dumb, mute and speechless everyone by saying:
"IT TRIES TO LAST, BUT WILTS AWAY IN ITS CHOSEN TIME"
What a full of grief thought...
No any answer for it.
Saleem.
With each line of this verse, I thought about the human being and how it relates to the blossom as it continues to mature.-And this is how it became about!
