There will come a time when we question
why the rain suddenly drops on us
on a beautiful summer day,
why the train skips our station,
why they never change the street lamp
that’s been off for years, and
why this simple task takes time
and robs us of joy.
And there will also come a day when we question
why we take the wrong bus,
forcing us to walk for miles
under the burning sun
on an uphill road,
yet with a light step, humming a lively tune.
