Before I Go.

Reaching out,                                                                                       

We set the pace.

Busy is not reason 

to replace.

 

So easy to share 

with dozens and more.

 

What are you doing 

standing here and there?

 

Maybe a “video” 

or “reel” to share.

 

Your voice, your notes, 

are what we crave.


Too busy, you say?

Click and I’m far away.

 

To find another 

time to spend.


To share with many

before “the end”.

 

One phone call 

over decades.

 

You’re not a child.

You call your friends.

 

Make your plans.

We are all moving 

toward “the end”.

 

How many times 

Did you visit ?

Relatives, Family and Friends?

 

Close to where you lived?

When you went on trips?

 

“We” should be calling, 

Connecting with “You”?


Realize you’ve drifted apart

It was great then, at the start.

 

Now they have different interests

Their time is theirs to spend

 

You’re only in the picture

When it can be seen or sent

 

Always “we” should provide,

Give and hand out 

Hands and pockets opened wide.


Where does that get "you", my friend.

Same place as all others, to the very end.
