The Window
The Window
She sat outside.
In the distance, the sea.
Dusk, her favourite time.
Content at a day well spent.
The promise of more.
She worried, she always did
The petty and the grave
She worried.
Through the window, she saw
The light illuminate the love.
A girl hug her Father.
A boy forget his preteen cool.
The reason for her worry.
The reason for her being.
Her reason to be.
Her heart filled with love.
In the still, she smiled.
She was happy.
The worry would come
and go, but the love would
Stay. She went inside.
