The Question of "Why?"

Why do we make life more than
putting food on the table
and sheltering from the weather?
Why do we make love more
than just being there?
Why is wisdom knowing all things
instead of just doing the important
things well every time?
Why is education so highly valued
when common sense is so rare?
Why do days last forever
when you're young and
seem to fly when you're
older and need them the most?
There are many questions of "Why".
Yet, my answers are all the same
. . . "I don't know".
