Why

Why do we ask the question "why"? It's a simple word, yet so profound It holds the power to unlock our minds And make us contemplate the world around Why do the stars shine in the night sky? Why does the flower bloom in spring? Why do we love, and why do we cry? Why is there pain, and what does it bring? Why do we dream and dare to fly? Why do we strive to reach new heights? Why do we laugh, and why do we sigh? Why do we search for guiding lights? The answer may not always be clear But asking "why" is our way to understand To seek out meaning, to conquer fear So let us never stop asking "why" For in the questioning, we find our truth It's the curiosity that lights our sky And leads us to the fountain of youth.
