“Dad Why is This So?” by Suzae Chevalier

Sitting in Dad’s arms when I was young

I knew the fun had just begun.

Exploring the world in minute detail-

I knew I could do anything without fail.

I set out to question my dad-

“Why does this dog look so sad?”

He replied without getting mad

Why do you ask so many questions

Suzy dear?

I say “I want to know

he has sad eyes with a tear.”

My question baffled my dad so

he was used to questions

with a yes or no.

I would still to this day

ask myself questions on like

“Why is the world is this way?”
