Who Is Your Neighbour

Who is your neighbour you don't need a name,
It's a person that needs you, maybe carrying shame.

When someone you don't know is in distress,
Do you hold out your hands or do you digress.

Does your head rule your heart can you be there,
A shoulder to lean on someone who does care.

It might not be a person that lives near by,
Just a neighbour, a person to help, or at least try.

Might just need a hand to hold or someone to talk too,
Whatever it is, be there, be a neighbour, yes you.
