My Afternoon Window

looking out my window
i can watch the grass grow
hear the birds singing
and watch the trees dance in the wind
the crispness in the air
her gentle laughter kisses my ear
brings a smile to my peace
and a lilt in my thoughts
snuggled on my bed
watching the world go by
moments so precious
no coin could ever buy
her sweet laughter chiming in my ear
