Every Day Questions

"Every day I have questions,
As to why things happen

How does the robin know,
To sing 15 minutes before the sun shows

What triggers bulbs to sprout,
Or why crocuses are the first to come out

Why do some lilies have a scent,
And weeds flourish without repent

Why are chanterelles only under firs,
And morels best after a fire has occurred

What decides a flowers color,
Or why hummingbirds like red with luster

Why do we crave certain foods,
Or let the weather dampen our mood

Suppose we imagine these riddles,
As life’s little miracles

Tending to us each day,
In an “awe ha” moment kind of way

Inspiring by their mysteries,
Motivating our proclivities"
