I've asked myself so many times, the answer's still the same, <br />How does a raging fire start from the smallest flame? <br />From a tiny seedling the tallest oak tree grows? <br />And from the calmest breezes, a hurricane blows and blows? <br />From a tiny little pebble's fall an avalanche appears? <br />A mighty ocean grows and grows from someone's bitter tears? <br />A giant earthquake's rumble starts from a tiny crack? <br />How can a climber scale the Alps while never looking back? <br />The tongue is quick, like speed of light, and causes sonic booms, <br />while roses grow so full and lush <br />from kind words and deeds they bloom. <br />I've asked the questions endlessly, the answer's still the same, <br />if life'stroubles fall into your lap, <br />Madame Gossip could be to blame!<br /><br />Christine K.
