Why does the sun shine through the trees?

It shines through so that the trees can be enlightened...

Why does the babbling brook laugh?

The autumn leaves are always tickling its surface...

Why do the clouds stay up so high?

Because they're always picked up by the sweet and gentle breeze...

But I have no one, to enlighten me, to make me laugh, or to hold me up...

I have no one to be there beside me,

I'm alone and I hate it.

So don't ever wish you were a rock,

Because you'll always be alone...

Even the rocks are not actually alone my dear   They have the earth beneath them to keep them warm and settled.  The air surrounding them to continually keep things moving and changing.  The small animals murmuring beside them...  

So you too are never truly alone...
love you!

i understand this feeling, but there is always something out there for everything, even the rocks.

Dear respected Echo Bleu,

We are truly never alone
As God is always with us
This feeling if is strong
Suicide will come to nil

One has one's thoughts
One can do many things
One can bring joy to all
To make the World friendly

In a way I like your poem
It is simple and lucid also
It helps me muse a lot
So my best wishes to you.

Thanking you, Yours truly,

mvvenkataraman

It is true that those who say they are alone aren't really alone because they have God. Also, after I wrote this i got to thinking that rocks do have the ground to support them, so, a rock can never be alone.
