Life Seen Through A Window

My window is a vision  
a doorstep away  
I gently gaze out,  
see tomorrows & today  
 
Across the street,  
their young family resides  
Man, woman, child  
hiding their family inside  
 
One day the woman  
birthed a new baby boy  
Expressions were clear,  
completely filled, overjoyed  
 
Weeks turned to months,  
I've watched as he's grown  
only made possible,  
as I work now from home  
 
Infant to toddler,  
the little one now walks  
windows were open  
amazed how he talks  
 
He leaves in the morning  
mom drives him to school  
time and life intertwine  
soon, I’ll be an old fool  
 
The boy has seen me,
doesn’t know me too well
Will he look through his own window
