Against a backcloth of bright sun
Talk of vacations
has begun!
Social friends get
back in touch;
News filters in –
of such-and-such…
We all make networks
of our own
Though far apart,
we’re not alone
But we’ve lost
links that others keep
From long ago,
when life was sweet…
Updated by a
mutual friend
A name, a photo
starts a trend
Once leading
lights, now out of view;
Health issues
plague retirees too…
Our memory banks
are soon imploded
A wealth of saddened
thoughts uploaded …
Our friendship
chain has new weak link …
Yes, life is short
– gone in a blink …
