Neighborhood watch

Tired and I’ve been working on worn legs.
It’s no longer impossible to force labor on an empty stomach.
After 5pm a man lost somewhere has slithered home.
Work was rough today only to wake for tomorrow.
Like a boy sometimes a man kicks rocks on roads for fun.

Motivation is returning to the safe place nowhere close to home.
Something will be there for me.
Can happiness be brought with pockets empty?
Admit it this world revolves around the money.
Guilt travels like a carpet out with my asking voice.
How never felt like much more of a caring word.
Here I expanded my two hands.
Thank you couldn’t have been said enough.

Worry of safety turned into bonds of protection.
Theses Neighbors are there for each other.
This gang is all family.
Fun days are those days of heat.
One day when steps are seats underneath the sun.

What’s wanted can wait.
Good things for me to act upon and show in me a trait.
These people have strong souls and living spirit.
Thank you Thank you it’s me who is grateful.
Neighbors and family will continue to grow.
Right now I can be content with no one to know.
I’d rather speak with good deeds and actions appreciation to show.
