I Wish it did not Matter

I wish it did not matter, the trust in the eyes of a child,
a fire raging hot and wild,
the cars, trucks busses and everything that moves.
the boats and all the ships at sea.
Hey Mrs. Mac Tavish, what’s going on here?
I don’t know now,
and I did not know then,
some say it doesn’t matter,
I wish it didn’t matter,
the stars light up the dark, dark, night,
the moon set so high,
the sun set so low,
the pale blueness of a cloudless sky…
I wish it didn’t matter, but it matters to me…
yes, it matters to me.
Yet, I wonder why?
