won't you be my neighbor

there was a man
on t.v.
when my kids were young
we’d sit and watch
he’d walk into his house
change his shoes
put on a sweater
and talk
directly to us
we
were his friends
he was kind and gentle
soothing
we loved him
hardly missed a show
sang his song
all the time
“it’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood”
“won’t you
be
my neighbor”
he made the world a little better
with his puppets
and his message of kindness
and his belief
that all children
everywhere
were
special
at least that’s how he made
Me
feel
even if I was the mommy

Mr Rogers
you are
my neighbor


Fred Rogers
1929-2003
rest in peace

Shoot, I was still watching him up until his last show. He was really the best role model for kindness and love and my, how he could encourage children to be the best they could be and to see the magic in the world. It's always sad to lose someone special like this.
God love him and keep him.

This is a lovely tribute.
