NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS
There are beautiful persons on this planet of ours
I’m not talking about politicians nor movie stars
I’m talking about plain folks who are always available
To give you a couple of bucks or a seat at their table
They serve as volunteers at charitable events
Help the boy scouts when pitching their tents
Buy girl scout cookies , even if short of cash
Help an elderly couple take out their trash
They give you a smile and a warm embrace
When they know you’ve got a problem to face
They come out of the sunlight willing to share
Offering companionship ,comfort and care
They’re experts at consoling those in distress
A times you’ll see their names in the press
You don’t need to search they’ll find you
To lend a hand on whatever is troubling you
We never know how close these folks may be
So I hope they are as close as you are to me
