Best not to dwell on the reasons why

When blessings come our way,
Best not to question why,
It will only fry our brain, 
Without relieving the pain,
For those who have not been blessed in this way.

When blessings do not come our way,
Best not to question why,
It will only fry our brain,
Without any gain,
Only showing envy the light of day,
And putting out the welcome mat for hatred will not help in any way.

Glad you enjoyed it Bill. Was wondering how others would respond to it. My niece now fully fledged Canadian and my other niece who travels a lot but has some Kiwi still in her are in Austin Texas soon for a visit. Hope weather is kind to them. Regards David Kiwi through and through
