Do You Ever Sit and Wonder Why?

Do you ever sit and wonder why?

Ever wonder why the sun rises in the sky

Why the moon changes as days go by

The stars never fall from the sky

Do you ever sit and wonder why?

You live your life as it goes

As a tide that ebbs and flows

You walk the path in a trance

Only to find you’re in the same stance

Do you ever sit and wonder why?

Do you ever sit and read a book

Only to realize the chance that you never took

At that one person you never gave a second look

Do you ever sit and wonder why?

When you read that book between the lines

Do you ever discover that at times

You see something even more

Then you ever realized before?

Do you ever sit and wonder why?

Do you ever view a picture that tells the story

The black and white in all its glory

A time that may have been

Of a life way back when

Do you ever sit and wonder why?

Do you sometimes sit and smell the rose

The fragrant aroma to your nose

Wonder why their life is jilted

For they quickly get so wilted

Do you ever sit and wonder why?

The exquisite, velvety, pedals

Often turn of brown

When cut to make a crown.

Do you ever sit and view

The old nuns on a church pew

Why they make it their life

To live their life in strife?

Do you ever sit and wonder why?
