Child questions why

I like the child so innocent and gay
I like his smile and joyful play
He has questions and questions
Everything is a big why
I can only answers some questions
And leave the rest with don’t know why

I know this child will grow up
And stop questioning and believe in unchanging reality
I hope he does not stop questioning life
I hope he finds answers to why

The world is a mystery
that wise men quarrel to know its origin
We live here only a short while
and my love for this child
is unexpressable.
Love is the answer
Oh child that we may play together
and we exist to play and not live alone
