"Why?" eternal question that- An answer sought both near and far- By Kings and Queens, adult and brat From depths of night to highest star. "Why?" must man be born into- A life beset by grief and pain? And why? when once his heart is broke Must he be doomed to love again? "Why?" do children, Oh, so sweet- Grow up to be such human beasts? And why do girls with tender hearts- Love those who seem to care the least? "Why?" an answer always sought- From arctic ice to jungles hot- The answer, friend, before you lies- It's simply this: Pray tell, "Why not?" |

May one day your WHY's be answered. But then you may not really want to know the answers. Some questions are best unanswered. Just do not lose the wonder of life.jo |
