Neighborhood

my neighborhood is peaceful
quite quiet and serene
neighbors helping neighbors
just good ole folks
looking out for one another
helping hands when needed
our street is idyllic
young families
and retirees alike
with dogs guarding
back yard oases
green front lawns
and beds of flowers
I wouldn't trade
my neighborhood
for anything less than
a home in the middle

                   of nowhere
