An Ode To a Window

Behold the window that provides the view
It holds back the rain and the dust but allows the bright sunshine to pass right through.
A door is alright, may let in some light
It will swing to and fro and let in the snow. It can shut up tight or swing open to be out of sight.
But to get the job done right, it is the window not the door
on a cold winter day that will hold back the snow and let the warm sunbeams play on the floor.
