Opaque

I watch a ray of sunlight,
I see a blade of grass,
I wonder to myself:
Why have they come to pass?

I watch a bird in flight,
I see a drop of rain,
I wonder to myself:
Why don't they ever complain?

I watch my life pass by,
I see it in the mirror,
I wonder to myself:
Why isn't it so much clearer?

Finally got a chance to stop in George. I really like this, it made me think. Title is perfect. ^7^ Hugs Janet
