This is Why

This is Why

where else 
will someone 
offer their hand 
asking only 
that I be happy 
in return 

where else 
will someone 
offer flowers 
or a cup of tea 
asking only 
that I be at peace 
in return 

and where else 
will someone 
simply offer their smile 
as we say goodbye 
asking only 
that one day 
i return 

this is why
