She sits there on the screen
Looking at me,
I sit there on the screen
Looking at her.
And we talk,
We talk of so many things.
Some are so sad
Where we talk of my lover
Now left this world,
But still with us both,
In memories of wonderful times,
Those wonderful times of the past
When the three of us
Were together.
But we laugh as well,
The humour in our lives
Always to the fore.
There are many miles between us
But that distance means nothing
As we sit by each other
Talking on the screen,
For hours at a time.

I like this a lot
Thank you Julie, we have known each other for nearly 40 years, she and my late wife and used to sing in choirs and we all became great friends and that friendship as never waned.

Chatting with someone special is always a way to lighten our hearts Andy - - thank you for sharing your experience of that with us and also for sharing the music that always lifts my heart.
Thank you Fay, very true.

oh my friend what warmth you imbue into mere words,
a great read Andy
Thank you Mek, so very kind.

Great writing, Andy! I am so thankful for that 'screen'. Without it I wouldn't have seen my grandkids for over a year. We don't talk for hours, they some of them have an attention span of about three minutes. But they always want to hear a 'story' which I have to make up as I go along. Thanks for this poem.
Thank you Fred, yes that 'screen' does keep people together in these sad times, one day we will be able to talk in person which will be so wonderful.
