Our lives have been invaded
By cell phones, games and texting.
For seniors of a different era
This can be perplexing!
We have learned to talk in depth.
We didn't need this "stuff".
We just enjoyed each other.
Good sharing was enough.
Now people are distracted
In everything they do
By games and fancy gadgets
Which they endlessly pursue.
Relationships have suffered,
For some don't even talk.
Their eyes are glued to every text.
At this I tend to balk!
TV hampered family ties.
Communication then was lost.
While phones and games are lots of fun,
Be careful of the cost!
"Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report: if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
Philippians 4:8 KJV
