DON’T   FORGET 

THERE  ARE  WINDOWS 

Windows began I’m sure for air,

for seeing who’s coming towards

the house - for light - for sound -

for knowing the weather in an

instance - so don’t forget the

windows. They are not just for

moms to peek out - to look out

as they wait for their kids and

grandparents for their kids to

show up once and a while for

a chat - to see the grandkids

and to see how all are doing.

Wait, there are more comments

to make - more things to say

about windows.  Do people

renting or buying a place to live

think about what windows can

see: other people, other homes,

other sights - like water …. parks ….

mountains …. harbors .... as well

as the sound of trains in the

distance - as well as dogs and

birds? Then too there is night and

the stars - the fog and the mystery.
