Nothing is Made to Last

Petals on flowers wither away
Leaves on branches always fall
Bridges collapse and are rebuilt
Buildings are strong but always need repairs done
Wires eventually wear and it's time to get a new TV, or CD player, or ceiling fan
Furnaces get old
Stoves lose their heating ability
Pens run dry
And paper gets recycled
Batteries can no longer charge when the juice is gone and juice gets digested and it's time to rehydrate
Computers and phones out-date
Tires become flat
Smooth, paved roads soon hit land or sea
Most things reach their limit and are not made to last
People quit their jobs or they get fired
They move away
And the living eventually die
Nothing lasts unless you really think about it
The one exception on this earth is love
Love stands the tests of time
It lasts even after one has died and continues in the minds and hearts of others
Most things have an ending because they aren't made to last
But love is
