WHY

Why I cry: of lost love, of death, be it not fair, of a baby who's mother, does not care, of warfare and guns, of dwindling Social Security funds! Of a parched strewn earth and a dying sun, no laughing children, no playgrounds to play, dedication is a word, our teachers no longer feel or say!
Of a pledge to allegiance, we do not pray.
Of no respect, no honor, no compassion, of no belief, in a CREATOR, weeping for all the  souls, who he did fashion!
Of pain, of sorrow, of no value of life and an uncertain tomorrow,
of biological diseases, hidden cures and governmental appeases.
Why I Laugh: Because I can walk a mile with a smile, I can play the guitar and hear the music with blind eyes, because there are brilliant rainbows and blue skies!
There are whimsical dreams and american apple pie, because GOD is love and love Is GOD, because of prayer, of honesty and truth. The warmth of a Mama's loving arms and the sound of A Daddy's sturdy foot! Of karaoke and song, enticing everyone to sing along, because I've learned to love and love to learn!
Why do I laugh....because, I CAN!

Thank-You very much!!

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
