 We Don’t Know Why

The twinkling of stars on a balmy night,

The gabble of geese as they take flight,
A passionate look in your lover's eye,
The graceful ballet of a butterfly.

Living on the edge, in a committed way,

Facing all challenges day by day,
Your life on the line—to do, not just try,
Life is exciting—a natural high. Failure and boredom appear in your life,
Unhappiness cuts you, just like a knife.
"Where are all the good times," you cry,
Is life just hard, and then you die?"

The freshening feel of an ocean breeze,

The colors of change in the leaves on the trees,
The feeling of peace as the days go by,
Life's a dazzling puzzle—and we don't know why.
