Fragrance

There are so many missed chances in this world,

so much unfairness,

and so many struggles.

Yet their story

may not be filled with earth-shattering events,

nor with overwhelming compassion.

They simply use their own efforts

to perform their joys and sorrows

on this stage that seems ever-changing, yet in truth has its own fixed course.

Whose choices?

Whose future?

Whose next chapter?

Life’s fragrance, the scent of living.

Whether sorrowful or joyful,

everyone’s life is a painting,

brief, yet made eternal by its vivid, fragrant colors.

Keep reading, and you’ll find this is a different kind of story.

Perhaps it’s happening right beside you...
