Give Me a Name
I will just sit here in this window frame
 Being looked in and out of
 Sprayed with nasty, smelly, soap stuff and wiped with a scratchy rag
 People have put me in their stones before but only so a baseball can smash in and break me to pieces
 I look into a beautiful English class room
 Always watching kids learn, read and write
 I look out to a basketball court, a foot ball field and to Wylie across the way
 People don't realize that without me they would be freezing on a winter day
 Sweating in the summer sun
 Their class would be full of leaves in fall, that would not be fun
 People would be all wet from the rain that comes in the spring
 I often feel left out when people close the blinds or cover me with paper
 My space feels invaded when people put their dirty fingers, hand and faces on me
 My space feels taken away when people hang things on me and stick tape to me
 People don't realize that I'm the one that lets the light in when it's day time and the powers out
 People don't realize, but would be lost without me
 Yet, People don't even give me a name.
