Impossible Questions
Joe Strickland 1986 (Hobbysville, SC)
Questions without answers,
Impossible to solve,
They linger in our minds,
As we try to evolve.
What is the meaning of it all?
A question asked for years,
We search for the elusive answer,
Through joy, pain, and tears.
Is there a God up above?
Or are we just mere chance?
The debate goes on and on,
But the answer we can't enhance.
Can someone broken still love?
And be loved in return?
Or is their fate sealed,
To forever burn.
These questions haunt us,
They keep us up at night,
We seek answers with desperation,
To make everything feel right.
But sometimes the answers don't exist,
We're forced to just accept,
The unknown and the mysteries,
That life seems to project.
And still we carry on, with questions in tow,
Knowing that some may never be known,
But we trust in the journey,
And let the answers unfold.
