Why does the sun rise and give light,
Only to set again too soon?
Why do stars twinkle so bright,
Only to pass away with the moon?
Why does a rainbow appear with colors to show,
Only to fade for no apparent reason?
Why does a flower take so long to grow,
Only to wilt during winter season?
Why does snow fall so mysteriously and lay,
Only to change and then melt?
Why do people enter our lives along the way,
Only to leave us when they knew how we felt?
I guess no one will really know why,
But we should be happy for all those creations
We had some time to know and to love.
Please tell me what you think

wow!
this took my breath away! you are right why do all those un-explained things happen? this is a world of mystery- one which i dont think we will ever solve. forgive me if i'm wrong but are you trying to say that in life there are amazing and beautiful things but they can't last forever? because that was the idea you were trying to put across when i read it! amazing poem wish i could write like you! -
Amazing
Like a kid asking the mother these questions.A good thought provoking process...Always makes one wonder about the mysteries of life.A very good write.Leaves one feeling like a kid again.

This is sooo beautiful!!You are absolutely right about how people abandon you when you need them most.I could relate to it very well cause I am going through something like that right now.
But its wonderful how you have seen the positive side in it that we got to like that person for who they are.It would have been better if you could have got the last three lines to rhyme.
But in a nutshell,the poem truely is beautiful and I wish I could give it more applauses but I have just 1 left for today.Great pen!!Cheers!!!!

Ahh these questions we all ask ... even though we know the answer sometimes ... I suppose we often look for hope ... faith ... and just comfort in knowing we are seen, heard and felt. Great write!

Great job, really. I liked the simplicity of your poem and the message it sends. That's very true, no one knows anything for sure. The only thing that really bothered me are the last three lines... I like things that rhyme..... Maybe I'm being too critical... But I dunno it just sort of broke the pattern and let me down... Nothing against you, I'm just pretty much the "Simon Cowell" of this site lol

The answer to most questions we seek we already know. For others we will have to wait. There is only one that knows the answers to all. Great write, nice flow and sytle. ~Sie

I have to say that for every question there is an answer. Ask you shall hear. I have found that we usually already know what it is we are asking. Life can seem quite complex at times...dig a little deeper and you may find that what you are looking for is inside...peace and light, kp -
Excellent , you have been effectively brought out the inner turmoil in ones mind. Thought provoking.I enjoyed reading it.
I was bit confused to understand these lines clearly. Some communication on my part or urs? -
I loved the imagry in this poem, so simple but highly effective. Perhaps all these beauties must disapear for us to acknowledge the next, for we would never see the beauty of the stars if the sun were never to set.

Very well thought out. I like it,

A simple but effective device here.

I feel this is a poem for the soul Your words flow with good imagery as they paint the picture i feel the seasons move through the year You ask the why and i wonder about the answers . You have held my attention to the end ...yes i am thankful for those wo have made the journey of life more interesting I appreciate each one. Thank you for the pleasure of this read.

this is really beautiful! excellent write! i love how you ask the questions why...something that i, probably along with millions other, wonder about day in and day out...and it is true that we should be happy that for a moment we have such beautiful creations. that is how it goes with family and friends and relationships...its a never ending cycle, which seems unfair sometimes, but then we wouldn't be able to experience the new things in life. i loved this piece!
~b*e*e~ -
wow this is amazingly beautiful. I love it, this piece has great imagery, understanding, and gives us all something to think about.

More fodder for the better-to-have-loved-and-lost crew, I suppose. This is one debate, in seeming anomoly, where my opinon seems to change with each passing year. Today, even, I probably could say how I felt.
I understand what you are trying to do here, and I have no doubt that you understand it is not uncharted waters that you seek to navigate. Whatever the case, good luck.
Best wishes in your future works.

An enjoyable write...
An enjoyable write; life may be full of questions, but will we get the answers we want or the ones we need? Liked the tone and flow of this piece; nicely done. --Joe
