She sits alone all day
And looks out of the window.
A window dusted with snow,
quietly waiting for spring.
Spring warms the garden,
yellow daffodils blink in surprise.
Surprised by the heat of summer,
she opens the window and cries.
She cries and her tears fall
with the autumn leaves.
She sits alone all day
And looks out of the window.
