Two doors down on Sundays
You can see a dozen smiles
And in the tavern down the way
A dozen more, or so they say
And right next door, the neighbors
Light up fireworks at night
Listen closely, you can hear
Children laugh and people cheer
Down the street in April
You see cherry blossoms bloom
A whole house covered so it seems
Like something from a summer dream
But does it matter what the view is?
Whether down the street or Rome?
Tell me, is grass greener
If you never leave your home?
This is so poignant and beautiful. Good job.
