My neighbours and I are just like one family,
They are always there for me,
I help the little boy in reading and lessons in the afternoon.
One day he put his pencil down,
Just looked at me with tears in his eyes,
I was concerned,
I asked him what was worrying him,
He asked me, "You have no Dad or mum?"
"No children?" NobodyΒ Β there for you at night? You sleep alone.Aren't you afraid?"
I was amazed at his concern.
Tears came to my eyes.
A small child with so much feelings for an old lady,
I assured him God looked after me,
I have the photo of my mum and dad on my bedside,
And he and his family were there for me too.
