Lord? ? ? Poem by Greta L Suits

I ASKED HIM, LORD?

WHY IS THERE WIND?

AND HE SAID,

TO MASSAGE THE TREES AND THE GRASSES.

I ASKED HIM, LORD?

WHY ARE THERE TREES?

AND HE SAID,

TO DELIGHT THE SQUIRRELS,

AND TO NEST THE BIRDS.

I ASKED HIM, LORD?

WHY IS THERE SKY?

AND HE SAID,

TO MYSTIFY THE EARTHLY.

I ASKED HIM, LORD?

WHY IS THERE WATER?

AND HE SAID,

THAT IS A QUESTION THE SCIENTISTS CAN ANSWER.

THEN I ASKED HIM. LORD?

WHY IS THERE MAN?

AND HE LOOKED AT ME

AND SMILED.
