My dear friend of many years silverstrummer has written some beautiful prose in collaboration for this image:

Oh dear Spring of life,
Show us how to grow,
From the buds of spring
To the flowers of June

Nurture us as a Single Rose
So pure and so perfect
Make us strong and steadfast
Give us the aroma of our essence
Our mystical force

Make us bloom in the summer
Our fragrance drifting in the wind
We need your Elementals
To make us grow strong

Just like life itself, we sow our seed,
We grow to be nurtured and moulded
To stand alone and to be counted

Our worldly experience’s help
Each other in it’s own way.
Then our time is taken
To Reflect how one lives life

Our time is now to go forth
Meet our makers with a smile
For you see before you
Our seeds have already been planted

Life now Gone
But New Life is Beginning growing ever Strong

Requiem aeternam eis, Domine
