Why Poem by Francis Duggan

As I sit here in a barn watching the rain fall from the sky
I ask myself the question who am I?
Will I see tomorrow like I see today
Or by tomorrow from this World will I have gone away? .

A jackdaw shelter in a tree from the falling rain
I wonder does this bird know the feel of pain?
Has this bird got many years to live?
The answer to these questions god can only give.

A robin in the wind and rain sings a song of joy
He is so very happy I really wonder why?
Why am I so lonely and why am I so sad
Like this little robin why can't I feel glad? .
