some days there are answers

others, only questions.

why do some fear and others dare?
why do some take care and others take for granted?
why do some ask 'why me' and others ask 'why not'?
why do some curse the coming rain while others grab a good book and some hot cocoa?
why do some dominate and others appreciate?
why do some wish and others create?
why do some look forward and others reach back?

how can people lie, cheat, steal and kill?
how can someone leave another who loves them deeply without even a glance backward?
how do i know when to say i'm sorry and when to say go away?
how can we take our health for granted when others pray for theirs?
how can puppies be so darned cute?
how can some remember and others forget?
how can i live without my loved ones who've died?

when is it time to give up?
when will our elected officials work for the good of the country and not themselves?
when will there be a cure for cancer?
when will i have enough time to spend with all the people i love?
when can i finally put old hurts to rest?
when will i have enough 'stuff'?
when will my intense love of music make my head explode?

what is my purpose in this lifetime?
