Why

Why do I shelter others? While standing in the rain Why do I comfort Loved ones? When they Don't see my pain Why do I stand forever? By those I've pleadged to love Why do I walk the tight rope? When push leads right to shove Why do I look for comfort? When everything is stone Why do I feel compassion? When I've been left alone Why do I dream so deeply? When dreams arn't even real Why do I place my secrets? for all the world to Steal Why do I wait a lifetime? When life just carries on Why do I wait for people? When I know thier Long Gone Why do I vow forever? When vows in time grow old Why do I hold to values? When values can be sold Why do I honor friendship? When friends go like the wind Why do I keep the pieces? When broken Hearts Dont mend Why do I struggle upward? to slide back down again Why do I search for heaven? When All I find is sin

So many questions that lay unanswered.. for an altruistic person such as you. A really well written poem- depicting disappointment at human nature. Thankfully we have a God who will provide all the answers and more in His loving way.
