Why
Written by Kelly Riley

When I was a little boy
I went to those close by
And asked them all many things
But the most of these was
Why?

Why are things the way they are?
I remember asking all
Why does the sun rise each day?
And at night why does it fall?

I always got a simple answer
To ever question I said
Just enough to make me content
To satisfy my head

Those days are not totally different
I have many questions now
I still go and ask those near
The questions why & how?

But now I find that all the answers
Are even harder to find
So I search and ask day and night
To pacify my mind

Now I ask the same old questions
Why are some things so?
Why does life seem so unfair?
The truth is "I don't know"

I see the world differently
With each day that passes by
The answers that I once thought right
I now am asking
Why?

I guess that there is no one answer
To what life throws at me
Caus' I could live a hundred lifetimes
And still I would not see

The answer to the questions
The answer to my cry
The answer to those not yet asked
The answer to my why?
