My Neighbor Ms. Morris
My Neighbor Ms. Morris
Marlen Medina
My neighbor Ms. Morris
Was like family
Sadly she died lonely
In a cold nursery home
My neighbor who
Had no family,
Was an adorable old lady
She was as sweet as honey,
Thin as paper
My neighbor who
Had no family,
Loved our Mexican food
So my mother happily
Made her some
My neighbor who
Had no family,
Is now an angel
Watching us from the sky
