Home with Fine Neighbors

My new home

Is the best I could hope for.

Just what is it that I adore?

It isn’t large –

I don’t need a huge home.

It isn’t luxurious –

I don’t need luxury,

Although the kitchen is beautiful.

Mostly, my home is great

Because I have caring neighbors.

My husband and I feel welcome.

People smile and wave as if we’re old friends.

A neighbor offered her internet password

When my connection was delayed.

Another helped move a heavy table.

COVID didn’t stop a weekly happy hour.

We meet outside.

And we enjoy each other’s company and conversation.

My neighbor invited us to collect food for several charities.

I love that I have found

Home,

Where my neighbors care.
