Why? Poem by Emelita C. Smith

There are times I look at the sky
and I wondered why the moon
shines only at night, where did it
go during the daylight?

There are times I look at the sun
and I wondered why it only smile
during the day, where did it
go at night?

There are times I feel the wind
touches my skin and I wondered
why, I cannot hold it in my arms
and keep it by my side?

There are times I closed my eyes
and I wondered why, I still can see
the image of life even in the dark
why can't I choose what to see?

There are times in my life I wondered
what is love, why do people fall in love?
why do people fall out of love?
why I wondered why?

There' are times I asked my self
what I need in my life?
I need to love and be love and I wondered why
do we hurt the one we love?
