The Child in the Window
The morning sun breaks through the window
As the child rises from her crib
A new day dawns
In her head new adventures begins
Standing in the sun filled window
She looks outside her eyes so bright
A leaf, a frog, a running squirrel
Capture her childish delight
She squeals and runs to tell her mom
Her new discover of the day
Radiant glowing laughter fills the house
As her discovery fills her with glee
Single words and two words are her vocabulary
Her intent is still very clear
New sights and sounds she has discovered outside
Her face is glowing her teeth are showing
Her head back, her curls falling, laughing in joy
Running back to press against the window
She scans the sky and ground for something new
A helicopter, a bird, a praying mantis
Are her next discoveries, playing on her mind
But what else does this two year old see
In the sky that we don't
Her imagination so wild
Who can know what she sees?
