Why?

I sat my child on my knee,
and a question he asked me,
Several questions as a matter of fact,
And I admit, I was taken aback,

"Why do people suffer Dad?
Why are people always sad?
Why is dying everywhere?
Why isn't life ever fair?"

He looked at me with open eyes,
And I told the truth, I never lied,
And as I answer he looked at me,
And understandinghe could see,

"Suffering is only seen, when compared to Goodness,
Sadness can only happen, if there's also happiness,
Death is just a part of life, where the sad ones become free,
and life is fair I know it is, or you wouldn't be here with me."
