The Way Our Oldest Looks Out The Window - original

An original acrylic with walnut frame by contemporary artist Colby Sanford

• 8" painting

"Let me remember 

The way our youngest 

Looks out the window

Wide eyed, unhinged & 

At the peak of 

Curiosity

As if each feather 

of every House Finch

Or Cow Bird or Eurasian Dove

Were the reason she came

To this earth

Let me remember 

The way our oldest

Looks out the window

Wide-eyed, Unhinged & 

At the peak of 

Concentration

As if gripping tight 

To her red bike’s

Brown leather handle bars

Were the reason she came

To this earth

Let me remember 

That there are worlds 

Of difference

Between 

a four year old

And a four month old

And let me remember

That there is 

No difference at all"
