THE OBSERVER    (Quatern)

THE OBSERVER (Quatern)

A Chapter by Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)
"

Never mind what others do; do better than yourself, beat your own record from day to day, and you are a success. --- William J H Boetcker

"



She always look outside her door

Or stay beside her window pane

She wants to know and see much more

Her neighbor’s deeds and what they gain

 

She has to meet the rich and poor

She always look outside her door

But that motive of yesterday

Gone with the wind, t’was blown away

 

She’s now but an observant one

Who always judge and sneers at man

She always look outside her door

Seems she forgot what is life  for

 

This poor woman, she never know

That now she looks like a scarecrow

Her feet stands flat on the floor

She always look outside her door.
