My neighbors and my friends are very dear to me
They are always there whenever there is a need
We talk to each other and we borrow and lend
Such treasures they are, my neighbors and friends
I sing when they sing and I laugh when they laugh
We do things for each other on the other's behalf
They share with me their many worries and fears
I share with them my compassion and my tears
How lonely and cheerless a place my soul would be
Without such neighbors and good friends as these
I cherish them all and take each one into my heart
Feeling the love and kindness each in turn imparts |
