Brief

Love is brief
and the child that you love today
will grow into an adult tomorrow,
cracking your love open
like a chicken cracks the shell of an egg
to separate itself out,
and be gone.

Love is everlasting;
And the shell of an egg
stays long enough
and does enough
so that the chicken's life,
would mould itself,
into an unmistakable expression of love itself.

"stays long enough

Why does this sound so familiar?? Is it taken from somewhere?

Don't know what to comment. Guess one word would suffice -- Beautiful.
