The Window Sitting by my window I can see life passing by With every season bringing forth New life,new earth, new sky With every dawn, I am bestowed A gift to always hold The beauty of the day engraved For memories to behold Each season of my life I see While sitting there to view Sweet nature framed by window panes Each picture fresh and new Each bird of summer singing out Its melody of life Each winter bird is struggling And fighting to survive On window sill in powdery snow A blue jay in the cold Turns his head and looks into The window of my soul Elizabeth Santos |

And I bet he left with a contented smile on his face, as you just have a way of making everyone you are near just a teensie bit more at peace with the world.  If this poem is what you can a "little exercise", I can't wait until you do marathons! LOL, Oh Liz this was simply charming.~*~ The Very Best Of The Season To You And Yours ~*~ |

I do so enjoy the windows of your soul, Lady Santos. And the poem is so apt for this time of year, when the birds of lesser ability fly south, and those hardier creatures, the Jay, the Cardinal, and much smaller, stay behind to cheer us in our snow-laden mornings. |

Lizzie~ What a delightful piece of 'joy'~ 'On window sill in powdery snow A blue jay in the cold Turns his head and looks into The window of my soul' I sit here now watching as the Blue Jay chases the Cardinals from the window feeder- laughing as he turns to look in~ Wonderful ... and merriest of Holidays to you, my friend~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

I can't say anything that can compare to the beauty of this poem, so I'll just say I love it, really I do. It so well describes the feeling I have some days when life just crawls inside of me. You are wonderful for reminding us all of the beauty out there. I'm impressed. Happy holidays  Go ahead, push your luck; find out how much love the world can hold |

 (smiles) Oh Elizabeth, this is soooooo beautiful! I love birdwatching, and am so lucky to see flickers, chickadees, and blue jays out on my windowsill feeding. (smiles) So adorable, sweet friend, we all love you so very much! (kiss on cheek) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!
