My Window

Many a day
many a night
with shallow breath
breathe in, breathe out
in my window I spend

Children playing
grow-up singing
with cheerful breath
breathe in, breathe out
all I see from my window

It's been many a day
and been many a night
another breathing
breathing in, breathing out
the views have changed
in my window

Many have gathered
many to weep
to view someone's final breath
no breathing in, no breathing out
I see the hearse pull away
from my window
