“Why?” Friend, June 1998, 22
Why?
There are many, many things
That I would like to know.
There is so very much to learn,
And growing is so slow!
Why are a mountain’s peaks so high?
Where do the clouds all go?
Why do some of them bring rain,
While others bring us snow?
Why can’t I understand the “words”
My puppy tries to say,
Yet have no trouble knowing
When he’s asking me to play?
For now I do not understand
Why certain things should be.
It doesn’t matter—I am glad
God shares them all with me.
