Growing up- children love saying Why?





 To my niece  Molly on her 4th Birthday, 2009

 

Why

Why do birds fly and people die,

And grass is green and we have a Queen?

 

Because she is our monarch dear.                    

 

Why?  

 

Why do cats purr and the tide comes in,

And the moon shines at night and Kayla has black skin?

 

Because we are all different dear.

 

Why? 

 

Why are some people fat and others thin,

And Man Utd always win?

 

Because they have very good players dear.

 

Why?

 

Why do we use a knife, fork and spoon,

And Robert is going in the army soon

 

Because he is brave and wants people to stay safe dear.

 

Why?

 

Why have spiders got a web,

And why do I have to go to bed?

 

Because then you will have lots of energy for tomorrow dear.

 

Why?

 

Why are we going,

Why are we here?

 

I will tell you very soon my dear.
