TELL ME WHY

BY: HOPE

 

Does God have a big glue stick?

No? Then tell me why,

the stars are stuck in Heaven,

and don't fall from the sky?

Is there really a man in the Moon?

No? Then tell me why,

I see him smile down at me,

whenever I walk by?

Do angels bowl in thunderstorms?

No? Then tell me why,

I hear the pins all crashing,

from way up there so high?

Does Santa's sleigh have magic?

No? Then tell me why,

he gets to a zillion houses,

if his reindeer couldn't fly?

Are there monsters in my closet?

No? Then tell me why,

they always seem to disappear,

when Mom turns on the light?

Do I ask too many questions?

I do? Then tell me why,

grown-ups know all the answers,

and someday, so will I !!
