Poetry
Life?
By Buchan
10 July 2006
Just reading that 25% of all Americans have no one to talk with.(in the physical)  So many only share their life with people on the net..(not always the best way to live}
Hence the poem.

                     Busy doing everything,working the whole day through
                     Never time to talk and even say "How do you do"
                     Another day will come and go,no time for a simple hello
                     Going through life in days  as perishing flowers go
                     
                     Enjoy our day, see our children in a different way
                     Day's will come and go,perhaps no people, no friends
                     Please change these thing before life is at an end
                     All are important and can celebrate words of happy  joy

                     Today can be a place to dwell in a garden of peace
                      Releasing our self with honest conversation,true growth
                      Stop and look with eyes,we are not invisible,I have found
                      We are people ,humans,there are others ,all around.

I empathise with the sentiments of this poem,when I was younger poeple seemed to have time to pass with one another,mums chatted with other mums, families met up, now they "net-up",As a lone parent,it can be days ,weeks and I haven't spoken to a soul face to face.I worry that the next generations will lose the ability to read facial expressions altogether.Well put and thankyou ( made me all emotional- I need to get out more ha!ha!)
