My Neighbor

She’s an 80-year-old lady

She lives in fear and doubt.

The world has changed so much.

She’s afraid to venture out.

He husband of 60 years

Passed away a year ago.

She’s lost and lonely

It was such an emotional blow.

We check in on her daily

Make sure she has all she needs.

We get her groceries for her

We even trim her weeds.

I feel so sorry for her

One day soon that could be us.

She is a kindly gentle lady

Knowing her is a plus.

She’s like a member of the family

Caring for her is not a chore.

She’s a very special person

My Neighbor.
