It Was Really Nice To See You

In English we say, It was nice to see you.
In Poetry we say,

As soon as I noticed you, my heart
Raced a little faster. I could feel
The warmth spread across my face.

My cheeks still ache from the smiling
Even though we only had a few minutes
To chat and catch up, I feel a connection
With you
And I want more.

It was really nice to see you. 
I mean it.

You’re Welcome Here on Our Block

(Reply to “Try That in a Small Town”)

Got a flat tire on the way to work;

Daughter’s mental health took a turn for worse;

Check’s coming next week, but there’s kids to feed.

You think you’re doomed, but your neighbor comes through.

We’ve got your back, come eat with us.

We will check in when times get rough.

We don’t have it all, but we have enough.

Well, you’re welcome here on our block.

See how much we care about y’all.

Around here, we take care of you.

You have a need, it won’t take long

For you to find out how much you matter!

You’re welcome here on our block.

Got a key that my neighbor gave me,

They say I am welcome any time.

Well, that’s what good folks looks like—good friends.

You’re welcome here on our block.

Love is up and down the road.

Around here, we take care of you.

You have a need, it won’t take long

For you to find out how much you matter!

You’re welcome here on our block,

Good neighbors up and down the place.

If you’re looking for some grace

You’re welcome here on our block.

You’re welcome here on our block.

You’re welcome here on our block.

See how much we care about y’all.

Around here, we take care of needs,

So come on, we want you to feel welcome.

For you to find out how much you matter!

You’re welcome here on our block.

You’re welcome here on our block.

Ooh-ooh

You’re welcome here on our block.
