"Why is the grass green?"
"Why do dogs bark?"
"Why is it called a jelly bean?"
"Why is snow white?"
"Why is the earth round?"
"Why is there war?"
"Why is there love?"
"Why is there hate?"
"Why are the mountains high?"
"Why can't I go on a date?"
"Why does Daddy smoke?"
"Why do people die?"
"Why is water wet?
"Why did you cry?"
"Why is there hunger?"
"Why is there rain?"
"Why is there illness?"
"Why is there pain?"
Mama answered, "Only God really knows."
And closed her eyes,
For life not to show.
