These are strange and unexpected times… unreal and unpredictable might capture it better yet not quite. Globally, more and more people are dying each day, businesses are struggling and economies are gasping.
In this uncertain scenario it’s paramount that we stay close to our near and dear ones and never stop caring no matter how far away they are.
Many of us may not be able to meet face to face anymore but thanks to modern science and information technology, yesterday’s sci fi is today’s (virtual) reality!
So pick up that smart phone and call someone you care for today. You never know what you might get by the (other) end of the call! Well, you’ve got nothing to lose at least.
Whether you’re sick, tired, lonely or busy it’s surprising what a few words with a dear one can do to lift your spirits.. so go on do it already- get in touch and stay in touch! Here’s a little something to cheer you and maybe push you in the “right” direction…
“Stay in touch”
You can’t be close physically
So do stay in touch
It won’t happen magically
But it doesn’t take much
The virus may be here to stay
Your dear ones may not
Before they go further away
Give it another shot!
Relationships are vital
Far more than you consider
Natural disasters can belittle
More than you can recover
So share your joy and sorrow
With those who love and care
Today won’t come back tomorrow
Of the morrow you should beware!
Be glad they are around
Even when not in need
While you stay safe and sound
Give these words some heed
If someone’s trying hard
And reaching out to you
Lend an ear have a heart
See what you can do
You may not think of them today
When everything is fine
The tide turns and you may
Be At the other end of the line
So stay in touch with friends,
Family and foes alike
It’s virtually the trend
It’s all the latest hype!
Stop counting your lemons
Call someone on that device
They may be facing demons
And be afraid as mice…
Staying in touch costs nothing
Today more than ever
Saying hi might mean everything
You could end up a life saver!
