Open Windows

Windows of life!

Family is an open window,

floods of joy flowing in ones life

the minute you come into the world.

Sometimes you're born into a family,

other times your invited.

Comforting mothers always seeing the good in you.

Stern fathers with strong loving hands,

guiding you through to adulthood.

Brothers and sisters fill voids in your life.

Grandparents give you old tales to cherish and share.

Aunts and uncles give the best advice.

Never go astray,

falling into unknown territory,

closing the window,

leaving you without guidance.

 

Friendship is an open window,

sunshine glistening, brightening up your life.

Supporters of all size, shape and color,

befriending you, taking you under their comforting wing.

Friends can be many people......

your family

Your mate

a stranger

True friends come far and between.

Never be dishonest, uncaring or deceiving.

Windows of friendship can close

as quickly as the sun goes down in the evening,

leaving you cold and in the darkness all alone.

 

Love is an open window,

it blows in like a cool morning breeze.

Delightful attractiveness pierces your heart.

Unlimited love spills over your whole being.

Two people filled with affectionate intimacy,

bodies combined to make one.

Always stay faithful and trustworthy.

Never let the window close because of deceit and lies,

leaving you vulnerable and without.

 

There are many open windows,

leading to opportunities that give fulfillment.

Family

friendship

love

All of which needs to be nurtured, appreciated

and cared for.

used to love going to friends homes for a sleepover and living and watching their family dynamic and compare it to my own...sometimes that is good, sometimes it is not

[Coyote Poetry]

Your words are true. We can find so many different things in so many places. Family and friends make us feel needed and wanted. And of course we must return the gifts.
"Always stay faithful and trustworthy.
Never let the window close because of deceit and lies,
leaving you vulnerable and without."
A outstanding poem. I like it all.
