Why do I?

sweetpea

Why do I need to go to bed?
So you’ll be ready and alert for the day ahead
Why do I need to eat my greens?
So you’ll grow big and strong into your teens
Why do I need to go to school?
To learn about life, a golden rule
Why do I need to work each day?
To build your nest, bills to pay

Why do I need to grow old
And watch all things start to unfold?
I ask more questions and seek a reply
But you’re not there, in time, nor will I
