The leaf and the flower only last an hour, because everything good and beautiful is fleeting and must be appreciated immediately.

We can arrive at this answer because:

The author reinforces the idea of how we should enjoy the good things at the moment without them happening.
That's because these things are not eternal and are over in the blink of an eye.
In that case, if we don't appreciate and enjoy the good and beautiful things that we have access to, we will quickly run out of them.

The author does this using subjective language, through many metaphors.
