Do You

Do your roses bloom
Where your garden grow
Do the flames grow brighter 
Under the mistletoe
Do you hear my heart beats 
When I kiss your lips
Do you burn your bridges
Never to return
Do you make mistakes
From which you learn
Do you hide your secrets deep within
In a fortress of steel, granite skin
Do you say never and never again
Or do you rekindle the love
Which brought you so much pain
Do you wonder in amazement
How the animals care for their young
And be a good parent
Do you wade in the water 
To catch the cascading drifts
Or do you work hard
To nurture your talents, your gifts
Do you keep asking questions
When you should try
Because if you keep asking questions
Time will pass you by
Nothing will be achieved
But an almighty Sigh
And you keep pondering
Why? Why? Why?
