Why flowers for a funeral Flowers wither and die I always thought it strange How can you remember anyone from a flower Back in my childhood days It does not stand still in time It withers Then dies Beautiful things when in bloom Used all year around Why flowers for a wedding A flower to signify love I always thought it strange All those flowers that go to waste When all is done and their purpose is served they all wither Then they die Beautiful in bloom Put on show Then wither and die The cycle of life
