My Window

I'm sitting here so quietly;
As I peer outide to see.
Nothing but a lot of clouds;
Staring back at me.

It's dark and gloomy outside;
Looks like it may rain.
Makes me feel so all alone;
Am I depressed again?

Then I look a little closer;
Suddenly I see.
Lot's of God's creations;
Looking back at me!

A baby bird is taking flight;
It's Mother close at hand.
Flowers opening in front of me;
Spcekled over the land.

Little children running about;
And playing with each other.
Hurrying off the school bus;
And running to meet their Mother.

Oh my gosh, here it comes;
The sun is breaking through.
Now I feel much better;
There are things that I can do!

Suddenly life is not so bad;
As I peer at the wonders to see.
It's time to get up and out of here;
And stop feeling sorry for me!

Thank you God for giving me;
These windows to peer out of.
On days like this it's helpful;
Cause it shows me all your love!!!
