Pondering Life

Just thinking about life and things in it, and this poem just came to my head, so I wrote it down.

Why

Published by Family Friend Poems March 2008 with permission of the Author.

Why do we begin if we don't plan to finish?
Why do we love if we don't want to get hurt?
Why do we live if someday we must die?
Why do we smile if we really hurt inside?
Why do we frown when everything is upside down?
Why do we plan but not take action?
Why do we cry when someday it will be all right?
Why do we get mad if we really should be glad?
Why do we mourn when somebody is gone?
Why do we say hi if we really mean goodbye?
Why do we question what shouldn't be questioned
and answer what shouldn't be answered?
Tell me now...why?
