Love Thy Neighbor

"Love thy neighbor as thyself"
Just may not be so easy.
I have had some neighbors
Who have made me kinda' "queasy".

Being kind to some of these
Will take some work and study,
For they don't plan for me to be
A close friend or a "buddy".

But there might be a time
When I can show to them good will.
It just may be that in their lives
Much kindness has been nil.

Show me, Lord, how I can be
The ray of light that I should be
And bring a touch of Sonshine
To that one who isn't free.

"And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself."
Luke 10:27 KJV
