so far away
remembering times we had.

from your friends

but they were only neighbors,
lending me a helping hand.

with my eye's as well as ear's
I saw and heard and loved you all
remembering now a tear...

the laughing and talking

because we were all neighbors
because we cared.

the rain parties that we had
they came quite unexpected
turned my bad times into glad...
