The Window

A short Children's story that describes what children see out of windows. I would like to have this illustrated and published someday. I hope that dream will come true.

Look out the window,

What can you see?

It’s not always boring,

There’s plenty to see.

 

A young boy looks out of a window from a cottage in the mountains, what does he see?

The birds, the butterflies, a meadow full of life.

The animals are jumping, prancing, bouncing, bucking; the animals move about, all over the place.

The creek trickles by slowly,

The trees swaying in the wind,

Sure, there’s plenty to see.

 

A young girl looks out of a window from a skyscraper in China, what does she see?

The planes, the cars, the buses and the trains.

The people look like tiny ants, hustling and bustling about.

See the rooftops of houses, windows of others, see off to the distance.

At night she saw all of the lights, the pretty lights.

She would remember that view forever.

 

A baker looks out of the window of his shop, what does he see?

The young, the old, the boys and the girls, all wandering carelessly around the plaza,

They are all having fun.

The baker can see people carrying around the treats that he made, they look happy.

This makes the baker happy too.

The sun shines gently on to the plaza, making everything glow.

Look at all the smiles.

 

A young nurse looks out of the window in the hospital, what does she see?

The courtyard, filled with trees and bushes,

People taking a stroll to get some fresh air.

Other nurses talking to the sick,

They’ll get better,

They’ll get better.

 

Look out a window, what do you see?

It’s not always boring, there’s plenty to see.

Author's Note

I want your feedback on this, I want to try to get this published.

I really adore this, might i suggest targeting children when trying to get it published, I mean this in a purely positive way. This much like your other writing has a directness combined with your choice of words that is very optimistic, honest and for me apparently hard to describe. It has that magic which is found in children's writing.

I think this would be something children would adore and would love to hear over and over again. Maybe it could be part of a series of yours aimed at children.
