Wilted

I ran. I devoted my entire life to running to a flower that had already wilted when I reached it.

The flower needs watering. The leaves are already wilted.

Many plants are wilted for lack of water.

Our death is not an end if we can live on in our children and the younger generation. For they are us, our bodies are only wilted leaves on the tree of life.

The flowers in the vase were wilted.

The flowers wilted as nobody watered them.

The flowers wilted because nobody watered them.

These flowers need water. The leaves already wilted.

The flowers wilted.

Without water, the flowers wilted.
