Poetry - 3

I sit at my window overlooking the sea

And I think of lands far away

I wonder what things people there see

I wonder, do they like today?

Is there someone out there like I am?

They wonder about someone else

They do the same things that I can

Is there someone like myself?

How could they help but wonder

What it is like over here?

What's their summer compared to ours?

Is their year like our year?

Do they hear the same bird songs?

Do they smell the same flowers?

Do their grasses grow so long

During the April showers?

I wonder if someone is looking this way

Wondering if there is someone like me

Wondering if I like the day

And wondering what I see
