A Hibiscus named Changing Rose!!

When I was a little green bud I had no clue as to how I am going to bloom. I hadn’t seen any Changing Rose till then! When the bud opened, I saw me as white, though I remarked that my elder was pink and I thought that I would be a misfit on this tree, a lonely white among the pinks.

                               Morning came and I was right, I was white..clueless as to why!

                     

                       As Sun grew brighter, I saw a pale pink on the edge of a petal. Felt lovely. 

                      By noon, I became a stunning mixture of white and pink! Superb!

I stood there facing the Sun and its mighty light turned me to deeper shades of pink!

And when the Sun left, dressed me in pink, it was time for me to close. As I was shriveling, I felt my colour growing deeper still. Feeling was awesome! I saw the buds watching me in wonder the way I did last evening.

The night passed and in the morning, I found myself still there in the deepest touch of pink, with newborn white newborns around me. I stood clueless; a pretty pink ball on the tree. What next..I wondered!

 Along the day I fell down to the Earth to touch the mud. I found the elders in faded pink, all facing the ground. 

The old dry leaves received me there and they told me this:

"Life never dies; it only takes another form, seen or unseen. You will continue your life in the mud to give life to another flower perhaps. And at the end God knows, if you would even get another chance to be a flower! You have just touched another point of life. Our journey will never end."

They call me Changing Rose, though I am neither a Rose nor change myself. I happen to look like a Rose and my colour happen to change. Rather, I become colourful by the end of the day!

My life as a flower wasn't long, yet long enough to leave a story behind. I had but 24 hours from beginning to end and I’m happy as I knew my purpose. It isn't so hard to know the purpose of our life: the only possible purpose of life is to live and continue living, accepting any form of being. And forget not friends, on the way you may find your life astonishingly beautiful and you should be wise enough to accept it with gratitude as it is surely Heaven's Light that makes you a pretty looking sight!
