Why

Why

Why the robins on its wings?
Why some children’s sufferings?
Why must we on earth face fear?
Why majestic beauty here?

We in science find the how,
We delve into each problem now,
With fertile fields of knowledge plow,
As gods we serve; to you endow.

Yet, we the gods cannot explain,
Why you must suffer; be in pain,
We shun an outside source; distain-
For we are gods on common plane.

An open mind must now suppose,
With knowledge and sincere repose,
Oh Yes, for them and these and those,
A Savior for all people rose!

Is this an answer to enthrall?
For He so feared His final fall,
“Your will; not mine”; a lonely call,
To God the Father of us all?

When you alone in lowly state,
No friends; no fami’y; this you hate,
Just call on Jesus, He will sate,
And, ease you through this final gate.

His Love assures both you and I,
Beyond this science; now the “Why?’
Is answered, and it will defy,
All earthly knowledge by-and-by!
