Adventures in Neighborland
by Kristen Heyl"Good fences make good neighbors"
is the way Frost describes to perfection
the way society acts toward one another in this day and age.
Few have I found to take
it upon themselves to discard this "rule"
of neighborship until I met you.
You have ventured forth,
offering your neighborly wisdom and compassion.
Frost took the path less traveled by
and I think you may have met him
while traveling on that same path.
Thank you for taking the time
to give me hope that there are
compassionate people in this world.
