stunning pretty blooms
lasting but for just a week
good times never last
but it brings back memories
remember the Hanami?

Note: They bloom and usually fall within a week,
The trees look nearly white from top to bottom.
Hanami" is the centuries-old practice of picnicking
under blooming sakura -  Wiki

    True, good times do make us feel that they are here for a short stay. But those memories, they last a lifetime! :)
