family potrait

a family potrait
never complete
one will always be
each is always without
how does one get through
a family potrait
that is never complete

i remember, neighbour next door

i remember
a neighbour next door
not my friend, just a neighbour
caught my eye once
and a few times more i'm sure
he was the sight of white light
so pure and serene and delightful
instantly the highlight of my playing days
suddenly the light went out
nothing
when i was peeking in
oh, neighbour next door
if i could only see you once more
