My Neighbor
I have a neighbor lady I shan't call her out
by name. Because quite simply I do not know
it. My, but isn't that a shame?
I have tried to introduce myself while she
was working on her lawn. She simply glared
at me. So I passed on.
Quite often she has outdoor tea's with all her
Church lady friends. Publicly showing off
her incredible righteousness.
Bible studies in her driveway as my son and
I walk by. Spurned it seems. We cannot
figure out why.
Maybe she saw the police in my driveway
two times last year. They were here to arrest
my best friend lady, you would know if you
had simply asked.
Why do I try? Such a simple thing to me.
It sickens and it saddens when I see ignorance
such as this. All puffed up and prideful.
Oblivious.
I do not know your name but judging you
that's not for me. Your husband seems a gem.
And that is great to see. It takes all kinds.
And lady? You best believe this long haired
wild man's gonna kneel and pray for you.
I know Jesus too! And I hope you meet the
real one. The father I adore.
He patiently awaits you to join us on that
shore.
