You Are A Stranger
You Are A Stranger
by Chelsea Randle
I see my neighbor walk
I see my neighbor talk
To other expect ME
Why not?
Is it cause I’m a stranger?
I really do not know but I’m going to find out
Walk
Walk
Walk
Walk
I walk up to her
“ H E L L O neighbor”
Why not me W H Y aren’t you talking to me, you talk to everyone else
She replied
“ you are a stranger “
I was totallyinshock
I took onetwothreefourfivesix steps
And T U R N E D A R O U N D
And ask
“would you like to come play with me?”
