A Neighbor
A Neighbor
by Rocio Torres
A neighbor
so quiet, so kind
so pretty, so shy
she lives down stairs
alone.
she gives me cookies
when I help her out
she’s the happiest woman I’ve ever seen
A neighbor
so quiet
so kind
A neighbor
so sad
so lonely
but has a story
A neighbor who holds a lot inside
