Outside My Window

It could be snow

Although it may be intermittent rains,

Mostly Sun shining as I look

Through my windowpanes.

Young children playing effortlessly

On bicycles with no shoes on

Not a care in the world.

Remembrances of my time,

Gazing through that window pane.

Teenagers gathering as one,

Strutting towards their parent’s car

On their way to play,

As I gaze through the teen years

Windowpane.

Young girls jogging along the path

Hair bouncing as the ponytail is

Challenged, only happiness in mind

As I gaze through the innocent years

Windowpane.

Middle aged couple strolling with

Children as they playfully

Taunt each other,

As I gaze through the parental

Windowpanes.

Elderly friends gathered by a friendly

Fire, exchanging life’s stories with

Clarity, attentiveness and affection,

Regarding each other’s legacy.

As I heartwarmingly draw down

The shade over all my windowpanes.

hope you enjoyed the reading,
