The beauty of light is only seen because we know darkness.
The gift of youth is understood best by the ones who now know the wisdom of years.
The wonder that is love is sought much by those who stand to lose it
The glow of good health fondly remembered by those with disease.
And if you stand as observer in any of these
It brings to memory that things can change and often do.
Even the life you have will be gone one day too.
You were a child.
Before that, a ball of cells dividing and organizing.
Even now that child you used to be is no more to be.
And so will your child
And so will this moment
Cease to be
In the next... moment.
