"If not to understand why to accept why not"


Poem Artwork

Taking Maybe for an Answer

Now as I remember what I almost forgot
All I ever wanted was to be understood
Or maybe I just wanted to understand why
Anything really there had to be a reason

But it happens here now there does not have to be
A reason or at least a reason I can see
Here left to wonder staring under starspanned sky
Now at this late hour of this my winter season

I have to try as I have tried as best I could
If not to understand why to accept why not
Taking maybe for an answer as time goes by
To be understood to be good enough for me

Cleverly put, Steve.
If not that maybe but on the other hand maybe not.
Oh well, we tried.
God bless,
Lew
