Every day, I stare out the window
As time passes, so too do the seasons
From my perch, I watch each one unfold
Splotches of crimson and auburn
Drift down, leaves joining their fallen brethren
Flakes of ivory snow float from above,
Painting the earth into a winter wonderland
Fresh flowers sprout from fields of forest green,
A vibrant garden of color spreading along
Golden slants of sunlight pour down,
Bathing the world in gentle heat
Every day, I stare out the window,
A new example of natural beauty
Playing before my eyes
