| WINDOWS VIEW |
| PEERING OUT MY WINDOW AS I SIT AT MY DESK EVERYDAY I MAY SEE SOMETHING DIFFERENT OUTSIDE OF COURSE THE SAND CHERRY TREE IS THERE DOING IT'S BEST TO BLOCK MY VIEW OF WHAT MIGHT BE THERE TO HIDE. |
| THE BUTTERFLIES ARE FLUTTERING AROUND THE FOUR O'CLOCKS BEYOND THAT ALONG THE FENCE, IS A FLOWERING HEDGE ALL PLANTED BY MY HANDS, AND TRYING HARD TO BLOCK THE NEIGHBORS YARD AND HOME, ALONG MY LAWNS EDGE. |
| IT SEEMS JUST YESTERDAY THE VIEW WAS OPEN AND CLEAR BUT IT HAS BEEN QUITE A FEW YEARS THESE HAVE GROWN ALONG THE SIDE OF MY LOVELY YARD AND HOME SO DEAR. HARD TO BELIEVE THAT I DUG THE GROUND AND PLANTED ON MY OWN. |
| MOST EVERY DAY A FEW YEARS BACK, I WAS UP, DRESSED AND OUT. OFF TO THE SHED TO GATHER MY TOOLS, COULDN'T WAIT TO GET A START. TO PLANT THOSE LITTLE SEEDLINGS THAT WERE TENDER, JUST A SPROUT WITH LOVE AND TENDER CARE, I PLANTED EACH ONE WITH HEART. OFF TO THE NURSERY TO LOOK AROUND, FOR MORE BEAUTY TO PLANT. NOT KNOWING WHERE THEIR HOME WOULD BE AS OF YET. BUT I ALWAYS WAITED TO MAKE A PLAN, START A NEW SLANT MY DAYS WERE FILLED WITH FRESH AIR AND SUN, PLANTS TO SET. |
| I MISS THOSE DAYS OF TOILING WITH PLANTS AND SOD, ALWAY ENJOYING EVERY MINUTE AND THE DAYS WERE TOO SHORT. AND NOW THE TIME IS STILL SHORT, BUT I THANK GOD THAT HE GAVE ME THE STRENGTH AND LOVE TO EXHORT. |
| THE BEAUTY OF NATURE IS ALL AROUND MY HOME, AND I'M SO VERY PROUD HE ALLOWED ME THE TIME TO SPEND MY DAYS ENJOYING THESE BEAUTIES THAT HAVE GROWN, THE VIEW OUT MY WINDOW IS WONDERFUL AND ALL MINE. |
