I once had a neighbor who was as sweet as could be
Wonderfully enough, she thought the same of me
A house of adventure, and gardens of delight
Many times my imagination fought the sun and night
Just roaming her house, loving the time
Was better than anyone could express in rhyme
I remember going over and watching cartoons
While my parents had to work long until noon
Her garden was a treasure I would explore
The trees and the flowers, and the dog next door
Soon this neighbor, sadly passed away
And everything light turned to dark in just a day
The wondrous gardens turned to dust
Her children didn’t see tending as a must
I once had a friend who was as pretty as could be
Wonderfully enough, she thought the same of me
Around to my yard, she’d come to play
She’d spend the night, and then the day
A gentle voice, an easy soul
Soon enough, time took its toll
Katie, by a man in a car, was taken away
And is still missing, even to this day
I once had a grandmother, with the most amazing home
With plenty of feet, in which I would roam
Smelling of cookies, both high and low
With a stop, time seemed to whoa
Sadly, once more, it was taken down
All of those memories by a watering drown
No more smell, no more home,
No more place for which to roam…
