I can only reply what I know.
For what you ask is not hard;
"Just Because" is why I'm late
But you see more than there is.
You don't hear me say 'yes or no',
But smile and without a thought.
I see how much you could hate;
Yet, my answer still stands.
"Just Because" for the errands I make,
For the life that I lead.
I reply simply for it's truth.
I have no excuse or reason.
I move through my day with faith;
To account for the day make no sense.
I see that God gave me the First day,
He gives me the next one, as well.
"Just Because" is his answer.
I don't question that but I hear you.
For my heart knows that I love you,
My soul know that I belong to you.
For this, I give no reason for my faith.
I do that only seems right,
And move for what is my obligation to do so.
"Just Because" is such a simple response.
For these two words are followed by three.
How can I explain that I need no explanation?
I live my day in my innocent bliss of truth.
My truth of how I feel for you.
Yet, you demand more.
You ask so many questions in life?
To see a simple puddle of water;
And look into the depths of the ocean.
I do not come to you late;
for there is no other.
I sleep in slumber;
for the day has seen me work.
I give love freely,
For love is given freely by God.
For I say this to you...
Just as God tells us with each new day.
Do not question love.
Appreciate the day that is given.
Accept that some things ARE simple.
And...."I LOVE YOU---JUST BECAUSE"
Author notes
I wrote this because a person that I love kept asking so many questions and my response was so simple. This is why....with love, a person doesn't need to give complicated answers.

Very nicely done, and an interesting thought on an old cliche--"just because"! I must admit that I have often gotten on to my kids [and others] for saying the exact same thing, but your poem here made me realize the subtle truth of it; for some things in life, there is only one reason: "just because"!
Thanks for your write, and you know why I liked it? Why, "just because", of course!
