Passing Time

What causes us to feel hungry
you would believe people wouldn't
why do some people become chunky
while others eat a lot and couldn't

why do we feel sleepy
you would conceive we wouldn't be tired
I pleasure in being speedy
I am confused with it being required

why do we feel discomfort
such as pain and sorrow
I need to feel comfort
so I gaze forward to morrow

why am I in question
there must be reasons
is my query for concession
just time to pass the seasons

G’day Angela … I guess when we see people different to us, we start a whole range of questions. I enjoyed your rhyming Angela - good job - Lindsay

Angela, you ask questions because you are keen on learning and understand life. You say:"I pleasure in being speedy"; I take it that your mind is always on the go and you hate wasting time. (I stand to be corrected:)) Regards // paul
