Sidewalks 
by taylorswift97


Walking on the sidewalk
Is a couple holding hands
Strolling in the sunlight
Showing their love to the world

Walking on the sidewalk 
Is a girl with her dog 
Her sweet companion 
Who stays with her through it all

Walking down the sidewalk
Is a mother with her child 
Giving the toddler fresh air 
So he can live a healthy life

Walking down the sidewalk 
Is a group of cheerful students
On their way home
After a day full of learning

Walking down the sidewalk 
Is a lonely old man 
Searching for a true love 
That he's always wished he had 

Walking on the sidewalk 
In your neighbourhood 
Is a lot of normal strangers 
With different stories in their hearts

I really like this one too!  
The stanza:
Walking down the sidewalk 
Is a lonely old man
Searching for a true love
That he's always wished he had

is definitely my favourite!!  Good job!
Your use of a refrain is very effective.
On the second line of the last stanza, you have made a spelling error: neibourhood is actually spelled neighbourhood.

Thanks Audrey...
Although I hope the "old man" part isn't insulting to any old men. : S 
Lol. I will definetly fix that spelling error, thanks for pointing it out.
