By the Way
By Cora Cost

Did you know
That this cookie never crumbles
When the rain comes
Even then I don’t fall
Sometimes trouble call
But you and I stand tall
When light shows
Then I might stumble and fall
I hop back up no sooner than the sun rises
Not one crumb fall from
This tower
Of love
Every hour
I ponder the tower
Of questions from each hour 
Why this?
Why that? 
You know why
because this cookie never crumbles
