WHY ?

I Love You

Is “Why” the first question a child asks? I don’t remember. It’s the question that frustrates parents, until exhausted with explanations, they exclaim “Because I said so!”

Children may be seeking an explanation that makes sense to them, just as adults search for answers they can accept when life does not go as planned.

Today

I will not

question

Today

I will

listen

In listening,

I will find

new things

to ponder

If I can

listen

tomorrow and

tomorrow and

tomorrow

maybe,

I can

stop

asking

“Why”
