Out My Window

Looking out my kitchen window

If I am lucky, I will see

Birds by the dozen

Hidden in the great oak tree.

Sometimes they’re at the feeder,

Sometimes they’re on the ground.

Squirrels and bunnies join them,

Chewing seeds that they have found.

So much to be thankful for

In my backyard paradise.

Nature in its goodness.

Look, see, take my advice.

You will be glad when you do.

Each day will bring a smile.

Enjoy what you’ve been given

For your glance outside awhile.
