One of a Kind

I live in a neighborhood unlike any other.
No other neighborhood is exactly the same
and mine is a place that is quiet and loud, sad and happy.
The people here are friendly and kind.

When I look around I see smiling children,
Houses reflecting the sun,
So bright that you can barely look at them.

The people here are welcoming and nice.
Sometimes I think that I want to move
But then I realize that I know everybody here
And here is the place for me.

Growing up here I have come to understand
That you have to get to know your neighbors before you can label them
Because there is so much to learn about them,
you can’t assume that somebody or something is going to bad
Just based on what you see.
There are so many new things here to know and to learn
And if you always just take someone’s word for it
And never find out for yourself
How much better it is
To just find out for yourself.
