I am not this hair, I am not this skin, I am a soul within, waiting to return.

Why does the sun rise and give light,
Only to set again too soon?

Why do stars twinkle so bright,
Only to pass away with the moon?

Why does a rainbow appear with colors to show,
Only to fade for no apparent reason?

Why does a flower take so long to grow,
Only to wilt during the winter season?

Why does snow fall so mysteriously and lay,
Only to change and then melt?

Why do people enter our lives,
only to pass on and die….

We never get to know why it simply just is….
Life turns you upside down so you can live right side up…
