Greetings great Steemians and all wonderful Freewriters today I want to join in this wonderful contest from freewritehouse, and I also invite you to join this contest too: A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words.
Prompt is provided by Inspired images
Looking at the image above got me thinking yea it really got me very deep in thoughts about life and all our struggles and hussles in life.
See how fresh, captivating and beautiful those flowers look with the dew on them, not quite long ago these beautiful flowers you see here were all withered and dried up, we would walk past them without batting an eyelid, we would walk past these same flowers and would not even notice them, but then what changed?
The rains came and with the rains came back their blossom, with the rains came back their beauty, everyone now wants to touch them, everyone now admires them, everyone now wants to have them, just because the rains came.
Now the rain is here and these flowers are in their blossom but then its not going to last forever, the rains would still go, some of the flowers will be cut by admirers who would use them to beautify their houses and the moment they wither, they will be thrown away, some might die during the next dry season and a few will still make it to the next rainy season.
Such is life, nothing remains permanent, that you are down today just remember that the rain will surely come at the appointed time, and for you in your blossom, also remember that the rains might go someday.
In all we should spread love around, you can be the rain your brother needs to rise, do not hold it back. Helping your brother rise is not going to pull you down.
We also need to be careful the kind of friends we keep so that we don't end up like the flowers that were cut because they were beautiful and then put in a vase and used to beautify the house, the moment they withered they were thrown into thrash. Do not keep friends that only value you when you are in your blossom.
In all let us remeber that life is transient, just like the flowers, some will be cut down in their blossom, some will be cut down when then are old and withered and wrinkled, it doesn't matter when but we all shall leave the stage of life some day, but while you are here, spread as much love as you can, for life is truly transient.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... at least they say it is. There's no beauty if you can't see it.
It's strange how beauty can suddenly appear but also can disappear within a view hours and how eager we are to have what is already dying from the moment we pick it.
