Unfortunately you state an absolute truth here and it really is a very sad situation. My family are kind of bad about this and I hate it, I really do...this is very well written and I am with you 100% - Dinah

    It is said that the truth will set you free, so my prayer is that if 1 person who reads this will say "you know I need to stop doing this" then all is right with the world. Thank you so very much for the great comments...it is good so see your name again...have an awesome evening young lady! Mossmouse

How true this is. Too many families and friends never really talk to one another with out an electronic signal in between them . It is so sad that our children will not know how to communicate the real way. Good right!!!Debbie

As for your writing, very nicely done. Easy to read; pretty good flow. If I might, one suggestion for the last line of the 4th stanza "Into the realm where none need chase". As for the topic, you are right on. Far too much wasted, precious time. It reminded me of the old song "Cat's in the Cradle" about not putting the priority on the right things. Thanks so much for sharing this.

    I always liked "pretty good", it is so much better than "pretty Bad!" Thank you so much for the most kind words and I will take a look at your suggestion...that's why we all are here. Have an awesome evening, unless you are in New Zealand and then Good Morning! Mossmouse

Your poem says so much that is relevant to me. A family can so easily get lost in the technology - instead of the reverie of being that many people sitting around a table with at least a few things in common...Is this what we're coming to? Silence in the presence of "loved ones?" Great poem.

It's beautiful! You are very right. These days we spend so much time in being busy with something or the other that family time is reduced to zero.
Nice thoughts!
They sat so close, yet were so far away
No touch, no laugh was shared among the four
Forever forfeiting this time even for a "Hey"
How are you but simply typing words sent off to sway

BRAVO!!! What a great message. I struggle so with seeing the same images...families together, yet miles apart because they are texting or gaming or whatever else except communicating with those that are nearby.

Nothing needs changing with this. Thanks for sharing it!
Blessings!

This is so true. People don't even call each others names in the house anymore. They are either calling cell phones or texting. We do need to learn how to communicate without all these devices. There was a time where we didn't have a choice. Thank you for bringing light to such a untalked about subject.
