The Neighborhood

There is nothing like a neighborhood

Where you live today

There is good,

There is bad

Something sad

So why move away?

There are large homes

Small ones too

Grass to be cut

Trash cans to be filled

And towed away.

Too many cars

Fewer places to park

Too many cats and too many dogs

Children playing in the street

Who pay no attention to cars.

There are neighbors

You've learned to care for

And others you wish would move

But if they did you would miss them

And wonder just where they moved

But moving is expected

New folks are needed and desired.

You love your neighborhood

It must be kept alive

Say something nice about the ones who left

Be happy when you see them again

There is always the possibility
