Reasons For The Rhyme Parting ways with yesterdays and mountains we all climb. Trying to make sense of it like reasons for the rhyme. Tears once cried for love that died and dreams that don't come true. Lessons learned and bridges burned and things life puts us through. Like memories of long ago that seem to linger still. I must confess it's true I guess somehow they always will. Still we rise with tear filled eyes accepting of the truth. Changing, rearranging us accepting of our youth. Forgotten days forgotten ways no longer skinned up knees. Racing up and down the street and hiding out in trees. We then grow in what we know we knew not from the start. Through it all it's still the fall that breaks a lovers heart. Every ending every mending no matter time after time. Every thing before and more all are reasons for the rhyme. Edwin C Hofert
