Curmudgeon

Knowing why, doesn't make the search go away 
Knowing how, doesn't mean you can stop 
There are alternative ways, different days 
No one gets to stay forever 

There are traps 
There are walls 
People trip and people fall 
and some never get up and walk again 

The world continues to change 
Nothing stays the same 
Tomorrow is not always better 
Bad things happen to good people 
Good things happen to bad 

and no one knows, why the wind blows 
The water rises and why everything must die 
Wishing will not make the pain of life go away
 
Life is, what it is.

Donn, I like this it reminds me of a movie called. Unstoppable. With Kirk Cameron. The movie kind of has a good perception that answers the reason. WHY!... Enjoyed.. SKAT
