I wanted to see through the glass

I wanted to see through the glass

I wanted to see through the glass

I wanted to see through the stains

I wanted to see the restorers names

I wanted to see the signatures

I wanted to see the history

I felt the colours on my face

I felt the heat of the bright colours on me

My face of many colours

My face of many shapes

The stain glass windows were alive

The flowers and leaves never stood still

They swayed and moved

Between the lead that was their glue

The impressive window

Has impact

It made me stand back

I want to savour the hard work

The time it took

I wanted to show you a new way to look

I wanted to show you a stain glass window is a history book

I want you to appreciate the beautiful story and coloured glass

A key to our past, present and future

It is not just a piece of glass

Every piece has impact and will last for hundreds and thousands of years

Appreciate stain glass windows

They are emotional

One day you may feel their tears and tales

The beautiful stain glass windows
