A Thousand Whys

The Lark’s Poetry Competition — once long ago — a time of cries and sighs

Photo by Ela Abbou on Unsplash

the cake toppled twice down sunken and brown I had to frown

birthdays to remember almost every month ‘til December my favorite is Mom’s in November

though I had to daily bear the many deaths of a family I did wear a broken heart to share

I tucked my curls behind my ear seeing my accounts in arrears barely could I stop the tears

when did life get so complicated? I’d rather it be goodly animated it felt so decimated

I had a thousand whys that brought so many cries living this way under the skies

never enough money made a situation I would trade deciding not to be afraid

for wealth is more about a loving heart that carries trials from the start to finish, not tearing you apart

learning to transmute to quiet sighs instead of having big ‘ole cries letting all the whys inside die

though never did I feel poor because life has given me more a bountiful life for sure

a life of friends and much family that filled my world happily standing by me steadfastly

bravely I unfold the whys wrapping them in gentle sighs understanding their return, a high

the whys became wonders of the things that I pondered the heartaches put asunder

do the thousand whys matter? the whole picture is a ladder making life less tattered

often now I’m known to have said no worries, no dread for a long life ahead.

Thanks for reading and to Denise Larkin for this opportunity.
