Memories they linger
In a world so far away
Reminders of the times gone by
The songs of yesterday
Thinking of what’s happening
All the joy I’m missing
Pondering do they think of me?
Or just me reminiscing
Our phone calls are getting shorter
I’m just too busy to text
I’ll do it in the morning
Now time to reflect
Seeing posts from friends
People they have lost along the way
Yearning for that one further talk
For the words they did not say
Now I am reminded
That nothing lasts forever
Time it waits for no one
No matter the endeavour
I’ll power down the devices
Just switch off all I own
Pick up the phone and call you all
For one day, I’ll be alone

In my younger years I often drove way out of my way in my travels to stop and see elderly relatives that were getting more isolated with every day, some of them in nursing homes or alone in their houses. They all greeted me with great pleasure and I didn't hurry my time with them. Much wisdom comes from talking with your elders.
