So many whys-
Why do letters make sounds
and sounds make words
and words make ideas
and ideas change the world?
Why does one man love one woman
and why is that woman the one?
Why does that man become the one
to that woman?
Why does love kindle desire
and desire bring babies
and babies grow love?
Why does time go by
and people grow old
and people pass away
and why does time leave us…alone?
Why?
Why?
Why?
one writer's journey 
This was beautiful. So many questions we all have. Thanks for reminding us how similar we are.

Thank you. Sometimes I think I think too much, but I have to get the thoughts down on paper.

I got the idea from a poem in “Falling Down the Page”, by Georgia Heard. It is an anthology of list poems by famous authors. I used the same form with my first graders yesterday in Writer’s Workshop, and they were able to use it well, too. Who would have thought? I will look up the name of the poet and the poem if you would like. Let me know. Thanks for the comment.

I love this slice and why is such a powerful word. Have you ever read, Start with the Why? by Simon Sinek. Great read! Thanks for sharing!
