Why?
So simple a question
Yet no answer to be found
3 little letters - when separate mean so very little
But join them together and the meaning becomes profound
A question that has been around as long as life existed
Answers come in many forms but none have ever satisfied
Hours spent in contemplation by people of every generation
The rich - the poor - the strong - the weak
Each of us is always looking for the answer to this question
Why?
Why are there tears?
Why is there pain?
Why is there suffering?
Why do little children have to die?
Why me?
Why this?
Why now?
Why? Why? Why?
Instead of looking deep into the possibilities
perhaps we need to look at this question with some simplicity
When life decides to throw at you it’s very next Why?
Just turn around with calm acceptance and respond in kind
For every Why? that you are given -
Just hold your head up high and give back a strong and simple - Why Not?
