Good things don't last

I cry when I see
The sakura petals fall
Their life is so short.

So beautiful how
They dance through the air sadly
A fleeting moment.

One by one they fall
Catch one, hold it to your cheek
Save it, while it lasts.

They're too delicate
To keep hold of the branches
They all must let go.

Smile at their beauty
Soon they will scatter like snow
And none will remain.
