Staying Close

Everyday
We connect
Little notes
In digital code left
Fun and laughter
Pain and fear
My lovely daughter
You are
Always
So near

Every day
We interact
Pictures tell a story
Love and cheer
Sadness and worry
My lovely sister
Always
So near

Every so often
We connect
Lines ringing
Background music playing
What’s for dinner and reports on the odd doctor’s trip
No longer afraid of your voice whip
Daddy dear
We are near

On the odd occasion
We can lately interact
Family close, friends dear
Sharing titbits here and there
Chainmail
Sometimes wondering down memory lane
Moving on
All part of the game
Growing older
Sometimes means
Drifting away
