The Window ©©

I stand by the window looking out
I watch the sunrises
And sunsets
I watch the birds fly by

I stand by the window watching the children play
I watch as they grow up so fast
Then go away
I watch an old couple walk by

I stand by the window watching the seasons change
I watch the blossoms bloom
The leaves burst with fire
I watch the years pass on

I stand by the window watching people
I watch the light in their eyes
Looking for hope
I watch the horizon for a sign

I stand by the window watching the world grow small
I watch the unreachable
And know it’s not
I watch what everyone is reaching for

I stand by the window looking
I watch the world go by
While I’m inside wishing
I could watch from the other side
