~ Everyone Needs A Friend ~
I went to visit a
neighbor today
I'd never visited before
When she saw me coming
she called out thru the
door
Go away, I'm not
interested,
not buying any thing
today
I called back to her,
not selling
I'd like to visit you
any way
She was old and very
impaired
And always stayed at
home
She never visited
anywhere
Just she and her dog
alone
I picked her some
pretty flowers
Insisted she let me in
Once I was inside the
door
She was so glad to see a
friend
Before I left she was
smiling
And she invited me back
I don't know why you
visited me
But I am Oh so glad
She'd built her little prison
Built it all alone
Just for her and her dog
Right there in her home
No one has cared for me
for more years than I
can say
How can I ever thank you
For stopping in today
Please do come back now
Just any time you can
I'll look forward to
seeing you
It's wonderful, to
have you as my friend
