Lookin' Out The Window
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fiery tap water anxiously flowed
I see Niagara, churning up soap
For an instant, I'm there, truly amazed
A "tap" on the hip snaps me out of daze
Barely overheard to the sink filling up,
Was the voice of my Linleigh requesting a cup?
T'was not for a drink but, to go out and play
With sand, mud and water (her plans for the day)
Easing in dishes and silverware
I lived among "suds" my gaze unaware
Creating "sud" people, "sud" homes and a town
Even "sud" cars that were driving around!
Yet another small voice brought me right back
Matthue came in for just a few snacks
A surprise for the others playing outside
I glanced out the window with pure peace of mind
Shutting the "tap" down and grabbing a sponge
I drift away to those days I was young
Playing ball, running and climbing up trees
Now I watch my children do all of these
