Because
By Trish Hubschman
Day 2 NPM
Why is the sun yellow and the sky blue?
Why is the grass green,
Or supposed to be.
Why do the trees grow so tall and the flowers smell pretty?
Why do dogs bark when children run around and play,
Or simply when the mailman comes?
Why do people blow leaves into the street
And the wind scatter them all over the place.
So many questions.
Nobody has the answers.
But I know,
And it’s so simple.
It’s because…
Nothing more.
Nothing less.
