This Is My Neighbor
This Is My Neighbor
By Anahi Herrera
My neighbor is like March
Keeping the grass green as possible
And her smile is like the sun shining everyday
Her house winking at me
Trying to forget her sickness,
Putting that aside
And trying to be happy
No family just her
Always smelling like cotton candy
Welcoming us like homemade cookies
This is my neighbor
