Communication from Afar

by Treischel

Communication from Afar
(An Octogram)




When on a journey you may go,
Will you go far?
The trip you take will set the flow
In plane, or car,
Or maybe, it is in your mind.
Remember those you left behind
May often wonder where you are.
Will you go far?

A courtesy that you may show:
To be a star,
Communications you bestow,
When from afar,
Gives peace-of-mind to those who care.
From everywhere the thoughts you share
Keeps friends within relief's radar.
Will you go far?







It's nice to get communication from a friend.
