My daughter is out
with her new license
and our car.
I am home
looking out windows
with free time on my hands
to write poems
make a quiche
and look out the window
again.

The poet is relax and trusting, filling her time with poetic thoughts. Does poetry breed so much faith? Perhaps it does, as it is a very pondering way.

Good poem, Sarah. With their freedom comes our worry. I think I'd be washing those windows nonchalantly to stay there longer...Marilyn Zelke-Windau
