We walk this earth for just a while,
a fleeting patch of borrowed time.
And in this time, I want to bloom and blossom,
like flowers unraveling at dusks light,
Spreading my fluttering petals in the sun.
Being a gift of beauty to this garden of life,
not choked among weeds, nor dimmed by the shadows of others,
but in all my time here, I want to be rooted deep in the purpose God has soiled for me.
