There was once a one-year old boy
He was playing with a knife as a toy
He was having a real great time
How nicely did his lovely knife shine
Then came the father, got the surprise of his life.
As fast as he could, he took away the dangerous knife
The boy felt treated unfair and started to cry
His pleasure ended abruptly, he didn't know why
His tiny mind was not developed enough
to understand that it was his father's love
that was the reason why the knife was taken away
No way he'd understand what happened that day
It is also impossible for any of us to understand
the why of a tsunami or sudden death of a friend
we can go as deep as we can, we can try
but we never will reach the true answer to why.
Just our human mind's capacity is far too small
for us to understand the ultimate reason of all
I believe a supreme reason exists for everything
Sometimes we just have to accept what is happening…
You are a great poet.. the most difficult thing for a human is to understand that everything happens for some good there is something in God's mind... a very beautiful example, I have no words to tell you what I am feeling.. A great poem.
I think your sense of what is deserves recognition. Good job, ric
After reading this thought provoking poem I became a better human being.Thanks for enlightening me.
i remember this poem vividly in my mind, one of the poems from you that i still remember....still loving it but why you removed all your poems and be someone different
Great poem Hans, as always your poem is thought provoking, making us to try to solve mystries of the Why? somethings God, realised they were better hidden from us and our tiny minds..thanks my friend.
good poem for pondering the question WHY? There are many things in the universe have no answers to questions WHY? Only God know...which beyond human's power and imagination or capacity to find the reasons for every events happen on this earth or in the universe..
Enjoyed your poem Aufie. Perhaps at times, we do not have to accept what is happening. As for example, the father changed the knife incident. Perhaps eliminating a danger unknown to the son.The future holds mysteries.
