Looking out from the window

Her baby in her arms

She saw an old lady walking

They smiled at each other

Looking out from the window

Her baby was walking now

She watched her play outside

The child waved and she smiled 

Looking out from the window

Her daughter went to school now

She watched her walking home

She smiled when she got close

Looking out from the window

Her daughter was starting college

She watched her packing the car

She smiled as she drove away

Looking out from the window

Her daughter was a grown woman

She watched her leaving home

She smiled as she waved goodbye

Looking out of the window

Her grandchild in her arms

She saw the same old lady walking

They smiled at each other

Looking out of the window

There was nobody outside

She saw the face of that same old lady

She smiled at her own reflection
