“Like flowers in a storm, life is full of goodbyes”

“Like flowers in a storm... ... Life is full of goodbyes.”

“Like flowers scattered in a storm, a man's life is a long farewell.”

“Each day the storm clouds were opening like great purple flowers and pouring out their dark thunder. Each nightfall, the storm was laid down on their houses like a burden the day had carried.”

“...full of God's thoughts, a place of peace and safety amid the most exalted grandeur and enthusiastic action, a new song, a place of beginnings abounding in first lessons of life, mountain building, eternal, invincible, unbreakable order; with sermons in stone, storms, trees, flowers, and animals brimful with humanity.”

“Life's like usWe find it- and then the deathA poem for a goodbye?Why insist?”

“Life is like an airport. It's where every hello and goodbye take place.”
