Row of houses
Side by side
Characters lay within
Of multicoloured natures
Neighbours they’re called
But family is what they are
With passing seasons
We grew together
Birthdays, Christmas and barbecues
We stood by each other
Cinema and shopping trips
We passed our youths
With outdoor games
And football over fences
Cousins, uncles and aunties
All familiar with one another
Not only are you close to home
But close to my heart also
Neighbours, family, friends is what you are.
Thank you for reading.
