The Answer

I look around and see animals and children play what a joy beyond belief. I felt the 
gentle breeze blow to soothe and mend and bind. I just wanted to rest my tire mind I 
saw the all smoothed and tilled. Nature saw my studied gaze and said “ENJOY ask not 
where they come, nor why.” I saw the gorgeous picture clouds grow up and broaden 
many shapes. I looked wondering at nature and nature looked across the sky. “WEEP if 
you must for the things that have gone but ask not where they’ve gone nor why.”
