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 God above.

But we should be happy for all those creations

We had some time to know and to love.
