"Understand"

Some things in this world,

we all don’t understand.

Even if we think real hard,

to understand we never can.

I do not understand,

why it rains when one wants sunlight.

And why the stars don’t shine at day,

but only shine at night.

I do not understand,

why the stars are truly hot.

And why one can never untie,

a quadruple knotted knot.

I do not understand,

why we cannot see the wind.

But we can feel it blow so smoothly,

against our faces skin.

I do not understand,

why the sand is hot under the sun

And why when the sun sets below the horizon,

one says the day is done.

I do not understand,

why when happy people cry.

And the moon only appears,

in the dark night sky.

I do not understand,

why the seasons change.

And why when someone is different,

they are considered strange.

I do not understand,

why a broken heart must always mend.

And why when the story is done,

the teacher says, “The end.”

I do not understand,

why the clouds are white.

And why the wind blows,

with all of its gusty might.

I do not understand,

why death must always end ones life.

And why friends must always stab,

in the back of a friend a hurtful knife.

There are things in this world,

that do not have a clear explanation.

But that’s what gives our world,

the greatest determination.

Some may learn why it rains,

and why the grass is green.

But a goal in life for everyone,

is to understand the seen.

Some may not understand,

why a scale starts with “doh.”

But there are some things in this world,

we’re just not suppose to know.
