Wipe the glass. This is the usual way to start, even in the days, day and night, only a happy one.

Looks like lingua franca nova. Flag says yes.

Life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory.

New roots for this challenge:

*c-rz-l: moment, accurate
*g-ln-k: memory, to preserve, to keep (both bigüluniknas and gilanenglyuk derive from that root)

Expanded the meaning of ëbol (Ellative particle) with expressing "perfect" when used immediately after a noun.

Alternative version (because I have problems parsing yours [:D] )

:de-hh:
Das Leben ist wie ein Garten. Abgesehen von Erinnerungen kann man perfekte Momente nicht bewahren, sondern nur erleben.

What do you think? I am not sure if it has exactly the same meaning.
