Category: Writing and Poetry Sometimes I wish I understood Why things go the way they do Sometimes I wish I understood Why the sky is not always blue Sometimes it gray Sometimes it rains alot And the sun fades And the wind blows Then my eyes close And I see Nothing Nothing but emptiness From within And I close my eyes again And dream Of soft spring days That never end And crisp bright floweres That never fade That never wilt That never shed their leaves And sweet April days That always stay The rain that comes Sometimes in May To sweep the flowers away From one single tear To many that flow Down to the bottoms Of storybook houses And the lives of the characters Their names so many Their lives like mine So fair away
