Outside My Window

I look outside my window,
And what do I see?
I see a slightly cloudy sky,
And a bird perched on a tree.

I see tall buildings,
And trees gone bare with time.
I see cars and people,
And parking meters that you wished cost only a dime.

I see a sun starting to set,
It rose in the east;but now it’s going down west.

I see houses and I see a bike,
I see a couple enjoying a breeze that everyone does like.

Cars zoom by,
Not knowing what they are missing.
While I gaze contently,
A breath-taking view my eyes are now taking.

G-d painted a picture for us,
Whether Fall, Winter, Spring or Summer.
To zoom right by, without even a backwards glance,
Isn’t that such a bummer?

This world is perfect,
As you can see.
What possible change,
Should there be?!

Yet, my picture isn’t the same,
As someone down the block.
They see something quite different,
They may even see someone changing a lock!

‘A picture says a thousand words’,
As the saying goes.
Check it out! You’d be amazed!
Take it from someone who knows!

It’s just outside the window,
Not far from you at all.
You can even stand on a chair,
If you’re just not that tall.

It’s worth it to see,
This creation that G-d made somehow.
It won’t be the same tomorrow,
Or even an hour from now!

The world is a gift - don't miss a second of it!
The World Is A Gift - Don't Miss A Second Of It!
