There are things in life that I can’t explain
Like why my old truck sputters when it rains
Or how the smile of a child warms my heart
And how the touch of your hand can melt my soul
Those are all just simple unexplained things to me

But that’s not what gets me
Keeping me up at night
Spinning round and round in my head
Making me ask why

Now, baby, I don’t know
Why life changed its mind and altered our plans
You said you understood why I had to go
But I guess I should have know
Its just one of those things I can’t explain

But that’s not what gets me
Keeping me up at night
Spinning round and round in my head
Making me ask why

What kills me
What’s eatin’ me up inside
Is known I had to go and you wouldn’t even try
To see my way
To hear my side
Hell you wouldn’t even say good-bye

Cause that’s why gets me
Keeping me up at night
Spinning round and round in my head
Making me ask why

Sorry, I've been gone for so long. As many of you know my fiance passed away last year and I've pretty much had a brain block sense then. But it looks like life's gonna be alright.

Know yourself before you try to know someone else.

A song of the heart is what I hear in this piece. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Welcome back home.

Yo dear Fmlbarebackrider2001,

This is a very effective poem.

It's always very sad to lose a dear one. I'm sorry to hear about that.

Please keep writing good poems like this one.

Love Bobby
