Sweet Neighbor

It’s awfully nice that you are near.
Someone close-someone dear
Someone I don’t have to fear.
Thanks so much for being here.

So much people never know
Special kindness- special glow
Somehow always on the go-
All your ducks are in a row.

Time sure flies- you’re often gone.
Sometimes dusk-sometimes dawn.
Proudly mowing all your lawn.
Watching you I almost yawn.

Off on missions- here or there
Showing others how you care
Feed the hungry- evening prayer-
Not a neighbor I can spare.

Give and take is always true
Only kindness through and through
No replacing one like you-
I just try to be that too.

John H. Bidwell

Nice poem. Now that I'm retired, I find myself watching my neighbors out the window and seeing them heading to work, to shopping or to a street festival. Heading out early, coming home late. They are rarely around during the day.

Your neighbor sounds like someone you can count on. More than just a neighbor, a really good friend.

Only I don't know why watching him/her mowing the lawn would cause a yawn. Except to get a rhyming word. ;-)

There's nothing sweeter than the smell of new mown grass.

I agree John. The AuthorsDen family is a great bunch. Well, there are a couple of assholes. But isn't there always?
