Rusted Iron Bolt

A haiku

Rusted iron bolt @Seema

With time, wear and tear,

is the ultimate fate—

even for an iron bolt.

Note: The bolts support the pillars of a pier in the Pacific Ocean. Imagine the strength needed to hold up a structure, against the constant battering of mighty waves. The bolts do their job valiantly.

But, the salty air and moisture slowly rust them away.

No matter how strong, pretty, or healthy we may be, we will eventually fall apart, as the wagon wheel of time moves ahead.

Let's be humble.
