She wonders why
In wonders of whys
And I don’t have those answers
But sometimes they do flash by
In wonders of whys
And questions and sighs
And I could tell her
If I
Knew how…
But I don’t

And so
I sit and try with difficult sighs
As I choke on my tries
And knot bows and ties
Wondering why
I can’t say why of the whys
And I try
Real hard
To say…
If only I knew how to answer
In words…
But I don’t

So she wonders and I wonder
Does she cry
When sometimes I know
I cry
When I try so hard to tell her
The reasons why
But I can only sigh…
I know sometimes it hurts on her side
Does she know when it hurts on mine…

A poet is I…but a word in a sense of make-sense
Is not within me
Not for she
So I sit in wonder of what words make sentences
That make sense for the wonders of the whys
And they are not
They are not
They are
Not
Within me…

Wow. I do the same thing. I wonder if the other person wonders if I am thinking about them. It's nice that you said it for me, and probably for other people that will read this. Thanks!

Of sound, and speech let all lift the hearer!

Reminds me vividly of the days when my (then 2 year old)  was always asking why.

Gosh,  if we all had the answers,  I guess
that speech would be a dying comodity....
replaced by know it all eyes and expressions.

Thanx for this one Denise...

Missed your writes that make me wonder.

Lots and lots and lots of "why's"... and we'd best have the answers, eh??... Nicely penned DG...
