I Wonder Why

My guardian My beloved

My friend for 12 years and more

Moments of pressure moments of joy 

You gave us all

Today I wish to register a complaint

By me .. and by many others

Who feel like me

Life is meant to be uncertain

You know and I too

And with Covid you really do!

Then I wonder why

You walk so certain each day

In the 12 years passed on to me

As if black and white

Hold nothing between the two

Tales of explorers continue to remain

Your best themes told

And my best bedtime stories

For times ebb and flow

Letting my dreams and imagination

Ignite the creative halls

Then I wonder why

When testing moments of decision

Come to fall

When faith demands you and me

To hold our heads tall

Why fear of unknown

Acts as a winning case

Celebrated by all
